There has been a lot of talk about the Mastiff "mauling". I got this information from a woman who works directly with the Southern California Mastiff Rescue operations.
We all know these dogs are gentle giants, unfortunately the media is quick to criminalize the behavior of large dogs. I believe that is a case of ignorance and fear in what people do not understand...

I want everyone to get the word out. The Mastiffs DID NOT attack the guy that died on the grounds. Let everyone know this was a big over zealous mistake by the police when they had NO other things to say cause they released the info too soon.
The guy died of natural causes and the mastiff's were only trying to figure out what was wrong and help the guy out. The wounds from the mastiff's were ONLY Superficial like scratch marks from nails and no bite marks that broke the skin.
I'm sure we all know how that happens to us on daily occurrences in just playing with our beautiful animals.
The mastiff's were friendly wagging their tails when animal control came in to take them out. No need to subdue any of the mastiff's.
When speaking with the mastiff rescue who followed up immediately, they got all the info the could at this point. And that's the real news.
Pass it on whenever anyone says anything bad about our mastiff's.
Take care
