May she rest in peace. How tragic.

This is so fucked up and sad. I wonder what kind of dog it was?

this story is not adding up... no dog does that

It was a male caretaker and he had two mastiffs (?). They look like huge dogs.

How sad. May this person rest in peace.

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!!!

Rhames’ dogs are Mastiffs and an English Bulldog. Absolutley insane. My prayers are with the guys family during this tragic time...

if his dogs were mastiffs, really it makes no sense that they would do that unless someone was mean and hurting them. Mastiffs are considerd gental giants because of there nature... It's very sad though :(

This story is so wrong they dont know how he died he may of had a heart attack and the dogs may have bite him to wake him up they do that sometimes.

GOD THIS SITE IS ALWAYS WRONG.

1:00. Chihahuahua :)

This is why I only have cats...right Mr. Meowy Pants? Who's that pretty kitty? Yes yes yes you are the pretty kitty!

I love the reporting in this page. "...dogs went insane and mauled the assistant..." Then the "reporter" goes on to write that details are sketchy. There isn't any word on whether or not the dogs severed the man's throat. Don't write news items if you can't get the facts straight. Its a tabloid site; however, sensationalizing a tragic story like this is ridiculous.

Mastiff's are really huge dogs, do a google image search. They are as big as a full grown man!

OMG! This is just insane. I love Ving Rhames as an actor---wow! This is so terrible. I feel so sorry for the caretaker and his family. Mr. Rhames was not at home. I am sure he is feeling terrible that something like this happened. The guy worked for him for 2 years and was the 'dog handler'. This is crazy. Although I love Ving..I wonder why on earth people need these types of dogs. They are just trouble. They are always attacking someone. It's terrible. They need to be outlawed everywhere!

The Neapolitan Mastiff is steady and loyal to his owner, not aggressive or apt to bite without reason. As a protector of his property and owners, he is always watchful and does not relish intrusion by strangers into his personal space. His attitude is calm yet wary. In the show ring he is majestic and powerful, but not showy.

I would disagree that those dogs are Neaploitan's and I would agree that they are definitely not bullmastiff's.

PEOPLE - these dogs don't just go around biting because they have nothing better to do! Get a grip and learn the facts!

RON MEXICO BURN IN HELL! ALL MEN WHO SUPPORT AND PROMOTE DOG FIGHTING BURN IN HELL!!!

Good dogs...BAD OWNERS!

Oh, I was thinking they were Pit bulls when I made my initial post. Yes, I see that Mastiffs are not usually aggressive. Oh, well, I guess we won't know what really happened until the whole story comes out.
To the last poster..how do you know these dogs were 'fighters'. Also, how do you know Ving was a bad owner. I don't think we have ANY details here yet to draw any conclusions.... I hate when people make assumptions.......

What about Cock Fighting?

Killing animals is funny to you? I suppose this man dying is funny to you as well.

this site is ALWAYS WRONG. Get your facts straight before you post you lies.

Mastiffs are often known to be vicious. You apologists for keeping dangerous dogs ought to wake up.

Listen you fucktards mastiffs, boxers, pitbulls, they all have temperment problems. No matter how clean the line is.You should meet my threesome, they would scare the crap out of you.

They are english mastiffs....and as an owner of one I assure they are absolute gentle giants and if these dogs were any different it would be because of their training. To the previous poster "Shelly" Please don't judge what you don't know, I myself have been bitten by a dog and 81 stitches later I still love dogs and am sure that it all revolves around poor breeding and poor training!!!

Bad Dog! ????? WTF??
You people are FUCKING MORONS!

This IS indeed a terrible tragedy, and nothing to make light of. FUCKWITS

How do they know the guy didn't have a heart attack or something like that first? And the dogs, who would have had no food, well, you know. Hard to believe the dogs would just turn on someone who has been helping to take care of them for 2 years. I know it does happen but just doesn't make sense. I feel bad for all involved!

Oh Lori, the day you run out of food your dogs will eat you!! HAHAHAAHAH!!!!

Rooster is a dirty bird!
He was talking about the other kind of "cock fighting" if you know what I mean!

this is not the first time mastiffs have attacted and killed innocent people, these pets are a liability. it is untrue that they must be provoked to attack.

i send my regards

Irresponsible reporting from just about EVERY media oultet and blog site.

The police spokesman even made a statement that none of the bites were FATAL and that he may have had a heart attack.....YET NO ONE IS COMMENTING ABOUT THAT ON THE BLOG SITES OR IN THE NEWS.

I have owned mastiffs for the past 15 years. I currently have four. I can tell you that the English Mastiff they led away from Rhames' home DID NOT KILL THE CARETAKER. Total strangers had him by leash and the big lug was WAGGING his tail the entire time. There was no BLOOD on the dogs being taken away. IF THEY VICIOUSLY MAULED A MAN TO DEATH....THERE WOULD BE BLOOD ON THEM STILL.

Even the police said the dogs have good temperment.

Someone should shoot the MORON cop who spoke too soon and said the dogs mauled this man to death and started a frenzy of MORONS who claim Mastiffs are vicious even though they are known to have one of the LOWEST bite rates for a breed..

Wonder if he knows M Vick. These dogs sound like they are bred to be just as means as a fightin' dog. Especially if they attack their trainers.

does anyone know what they are doing with the dogs?
