6-Year-Old Boy Fatally Mauled by Dogs in Portland

The child was at the home of a family friend, who was supposed to take him to school, when the tragic incident occurred.

  • A 6-year-old boy was fatally mauled by two Great Dane-Mastiff mixes at a family friend's home in Portland, Oregon.
  • The boy was at the home as part of an everyday arrangement where the dog owner, a friend of the boy's grandmother, would take him to school.
  • The boy was known to have been told to stay away from the dogs and the garage they were kept in due to their dangerous nature.
  • The dog owner attempted to stop the attack and even grabbed a gun, but was unable to save the boy's life.
  • The dogs are now in the custody of Multnomah County Animal Services, and it is unclear if the dog owner will face charges.
