Man Killed In Deadly Dog Mauling In The Redland

At least it wasn't a pit bull and wasn't falsely portrayed as one!

(CBS4 News) THE REDLAND A dog has fatally mauled a South Florida resident -- the second fatal dog attack in less than two weeks.

Miami-Dade police say Pablo Fleites, 56, was found dead Monday night in a dog pen located at a home at 20280 SW 190th Street. Fleitas lived in a structure on the property.

Inside the pen were two boxers -- a five-year-old male and a six-month-old female puppy.

Police say Fleites, who witnesses say was intoxicated throughout the day, was attacked by the older boxer. The dog was found covered in his blood. The dog will be taken by animal control.

The first fatal dog attack happened on August 18th in Broward County. Shawna Willey was killed in Coral Springs while bathing her 120-pound Presa Canario.
