SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- A man who was mauled to death by his own dogs in Mira Mesa last week has been identified. Pedro Luis Ortega, 26, of San Diego, died Friday from the attack after he and his son were walking the family's three dogs at Mesa Viking Neighborhood Park, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. San Diego police say for unknown reasons the dogs, XL bullies, began to attack Ortega, prompting witnesses to call 911. Good Samaritans tried to intervene by hitting the dogs with shovels and possibly a golf club, which was found at the scene, police said. An officer then used a Taser to break up the attack, resulting in the dogs to run off. One dead in helicopter crash near border in San Diego County Ortega was taken to a hospital where he died from his injuries. Police were able to capture all three XL bullies, a dog breed known for their size and strength. A second victim also sustained serious bite injuries while trying to help the owner of the dogs as he was being attacked, per San Diego Humane Law Enforcement Officers. That individual went to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover. All three dogs were signed over to the San Diego Humane Society by a second owner, who agreed to have them humanely euthanized. SDHS confirmed there is no previous history involving these dogs in the organization's records.
