A California man was mauled to death by four dogs in Jurupa Valley on Tuesday, Riverside County officials said.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department received a 9-1-1 call at around 7:30 a.m about a man screaming, prompting animal services workers to respond to the property.
The victim was working at a house when he was attacked by the homeowner's four dogs – three Belgian Malinois and one Cane Corso.
The property owner, who was not at home at the time, had converted the house into a business.
