BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – Three dogs were fatally shot on Thursday in an incident where a 37-year-old man was “severely” bitten, according to San Antonio Animal Care Services.

The incident happened around 7:30 a.m. in the 2900 block of Citron Garden, just outside of Loop 1604 in east Bexar County.

The man was bitten on several areas of his body, including his arm and leg, while he attempted to separate three of his own dogs from fighting, ACS spokesperson Lisa Norwood said.

According to ACS, the man was taken to a hospital with multiple bite wounds. The dog that bit him was a Dogo Argentino breed, Norwood stated.
