They spent years in custody pending legal hearings, but when one of them attacked a dog handler, authorities ordered them to be put down.<\/p>\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n<p> The dogs attacked the man in his garden Tuesday, killing him before the police arrived. All three dogs were put down following the attack.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?x-id=ca894aa0-8ce0-8e7d-b2a9-4fc32ad9d2ae\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pet owner killed by dogs after saving them from death &#8211; Yahoo!
