In an ironic twist of events, dog owner killed by dogs after saving dogs' lives

A Slovenian who saved his three dogs from being put down for attacking humans was himself mauled to death by them, police said Wednesday.

"Three dogs bit their 52-year-old owner to death in Ljubljana yesterday," police spokeswoman Maja Adlesic said.

Four years ago, the three bullmastiffs attacked and seriously injured a passer-by outside their owner's house. They spent years in custody pending legal hearings, but when one of them attacked a dog handler, authorities ordered them to be put down.

Their owner, a doctor, succeeded last June in his legal appeals to get the dogs back, sparking a national controversy. After his death, an opposition party said the agriculture minister should resign for failing to stop the dogs from being released.

The dogs attacked the man in his garden Tuesday, killing him before the police arrived. All three dogs were put down following the attack.

This guy has to feel like the dumbest fucking guy in Slovenia. And I imagine that would be quite the feat considering I think everyone in Slovenia is pretty slow in the head. He fights for his dogs, who have a history of attacking people, and wins. And what is his prize? Getting chomped to death by those very same dogs that he saved. You can't write this sort of shit, ya know? It's poetic really.

And let's make something clear, these dogs weren't like my friend fluffy. These dawgs were 2-feet, 130-pound monster Bullmastiffs. These boys aren't playing around. But to be honest, the guy deserves it. If you have a dog that attacks people, it's your responsibility to get the dog taken care of. I don't care how much you love your Lucy or Prince. Put the damn dog down.
