Blacktown, Sydney: Man fighting for life after being mauled by his OWN pack of dogs – as the sedated canines are removed in bedsheets

A man who was mauled by his own pack of dogs has been left in a critical condition – as the canines are sedated and carried out of the home in bedsheets. 

Emergency services were called to a house on Kildare Rd in Blacktown, west Sydney, about 11am on Thursday following multiple reports of a dog attack.

Officers from Blacktown Police Area Command found a 54-year-old man inside the home had been attacked by three dogs and was in a critical condition.

It’s understood the dogfight began when three large dogs began attacking smaller dogs on the property.

Three dogs had to be sedated by emergency services so paramedics could reach the victim.

The offending dogs were volunteered to authorities to be euthanised. 

The man was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital.

Police held white sheets in front of the home, shielding the man from public view.

It’s understood he suffered severe injuries and major blood loss in the attack.

The dogs were slowly retrieved from the home by animal control officers who struggled to manage the dogs due to their size and weight.

One large black dog had to be controlled by three men as it was walked to the back of a van.

Others were carried out in bedsheets by authorities. 

It’s believed at least one of the dogs removed from the home was a staffy. 

Several shocked neighbours watched from the street as the situation unfolded with some sharing anecdotal accounts of the dogs’ prior aggression.

Some claimed the dogs were known to fiercely bark at passing pedestrians and one claimed to have seen a dog from the property wandering the street without a collar.
