Mallett said the dogs responsible for the attack are two 3-year-old Cane Corsos. A Cane Corso is described by the American Kennel Club as a "mastiff type" dog that ranges in size from 23 1/2 to 27 1/2 inches tall at the shoulder.

Geoffrey Petz, 33, of Metamora, said he has had dealings with dogs in the area on several occasions. His late grandmother's house is next door to the home where the dogs allegedly live and he said he has seen them loose before.
"They get loose kind of regularly," Petz said. "I've had interactions where I was walking out of my grandma's pole barn and there was a dog standing there with its hair standing up, growling at you.

Damn, is that a stirrup on his right side?
Mr. GG2 got jumped by 5 German Shepherds on a rural roadway one day had to shoot at least 2 of them. They came running down off a farm.
Dogs in packs can be very dangerous no matter what breed. When a pack consists of the larger, more aggressive breeds there is sure a good chance of a lethal outcome. Even some smaller breeds would be bad news in some cases. A pack of Jack Russells would give me pause. If they ever got you down you’d be a goner.
I don't jog, but I am always armed with a .38 revolver when I walk my dog. Had to shoot a pit bull once when it had my dog by the nape of the neck.
The poor guy just beat colon cancer if I remember the report from last night correctly on the news up here....
Hound of the Baskervilles.... Some dog owners... And their relishing in having a mean looking dog.

You never know when one will be confronted. Forgot I was bitten by a cocker spaniel. Damn little dogs. Also came across a pit bull on the trail. Luckily he moved on.
Any dog not under the control of a human may be considered feral.
