From TMZ.com
KABC is reporting that the body of the caretaker had bites all over his body. They are also reporting that police are still investigating whether it was the dogs who killed the man, or if he suffered a heart attack or some medical condition. We had a Mastiff once... I can't imagine a normal mastiff attacking someone they knew. However the story says that there were 4 mastiffs and a bulldog on the property. If the dogs somehow got into a fight, trying to separate them could lead to an unfortunate ending.

I know that there are some problems with inbreeding (ST Bernards) that cause instability in dogs that can lead to attacks on owners. However what do you have to do to make a dog turn on its Master???

Saw this story, seems odd though. Guy had been taking care of the place for a few years. Can't imagine someone who had such poor judgement that they would try and get in the middle of a few hundred pounds of fighting dogs.

I've owned a couple of Mastiffs.
Gentlest animals I've ever owned. They will do more to avoid a fight than most other dogs. However, if and when they are pushed to the limit or their family threatened you're done for.
