Pet owner killed by dogs after saving them from death – Yahoo! News
LJUBLJANA (Reuters) – 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.

Paramedics say falling pirates kept them busy at parade
TAMPA — Though the party is still raging and Tampa Fire Rescue is still tallying, paramedics estimate that so far they’ve treated at least 80 people on the parade route since the start of the madness.
Most of the injuries are related to falls, said Capt. Bill Wade, a fire rescue spokesman. In some instances people broke their arms or injured their faces taking a spill off the curbs, and some of the incidents “are believed to have a relationship to alcohol,” Wade said.
“When sober people like you and me fall, we put out our hands to stop
ourselves,” he explained. “But when you’re arms are full and you have
something in them you don’t want to spill when you fall, you can end up
with a facial injury.”
