First of all there were NO Ambullneo Mastiif's present on the day in question! There were 2 English mastiff's a Fila and an Olde Bulldoggge(fact!)Second of all although the gentleman (Jacob) that passed on the property did have a heart condition but the autopsy determined his death was caused by a brain anurism. (fact)There were also no bite marks found on the body there were however scratches...like maybe the dogs were trying to help wake up their friend or they might have thought that Jacob was playing a new game. Anyways, the dogs were released back to the care of Ving and were obviously innocent of all negative accusations. And last... the media does not make re-traction statements unless ordered to do so by their attornies - so we good people go on believing what we hear on the news, even if is not accurate. Stop the hating!

"10:40 PM Anonymous . . . I agree with you when you said "there is no such thing as a Ambullneo Mastiff". What I think they were actually should have written is a cane-coarso mastiff. I worked with a breeder in new jersey. they are the k-9 gental giant"

That's funny I guess someone forgot to mention that little bit of information to me and my AmBullNeo Mastiff, that we never acquired from the very same breeder that Mr. Rhames never acquired either.
ALL dogs have the potential for violence, also the Corner has stated that after the autopsy preformed on the deceased man, that the dogs were NOT responsible for the mans death.
Once again the sensationalistic, fear mongering media and its yellow journalism scares the sheeple. WAKE UP!

People appear to be so ready to see Mike Vick in jail for his alleged crimes. Other than the testimony of career crooks and villains. There is no solid evidence linking Mike to the crimes. Wealthy people own property all over the place, and can not reasonably be held accountable for every incident that occurs on distant properties. If this were the case, then more should be done to the falcon player who was at home while a friend of his committed rape only rooms away from where he slept. It is a truly sad day in this world when the well-being of a dog can garner more media attention than that of a person. Mike has not been to trial, I would advise all of you animal enthusiasts to try and lend a fraction of the benefit of doubt that you extend to pitbulls, mastiffs or any other dominate breed that attacks a person.

Human Beings are the most dangerous animals(yes, animals). We kill each other every day, yet when an dog is accused, some people immediately jump all over it and say THEY should ALL be destoyed, no questions asked.
How ridiculous are you? We have shared this planet with all other creatures for ions and WE have NEEDED help from dogs to protect us, since we also are the most helpless & weakest animals on the planet(without weaponry).
There will always be instances like this where people will try to make an issue of how important WE are(one of OUR survival instincts), and that our survival matters above all else.
How many animals worldwide are used, tortured & abused & killed by us everyday, yet in one accidental instance, something happens to a human, even when human error may play a major role, people flip out!
Sometimes reading these comments makes me feel we haven't gotten anywhere.
My hope is that these dogs are found to have NOTHING to do with this mans death, and even if there are unanswered questions, after the determination of death, that this is just an unfortunate set of circumstances, nothing more.

My child was attacked by a "broken in" dog, it was NOT her fault! we were at the park and she tripped and the dog jumped on her and started attacking her. The ignorant owner tried to say the dog was a puppy (a 150lb puppy) and the dog was trying to pick her up or protect her. She had to get 3 operations on her face and lips. So to read some of these comments is insulting! Even dogs that are house trained can attack, they are still animals, no matter how tamed you think they are.

I wouldn't blame the dog nor the four year old kid. I would blame the parents for not teaching their kids about animals in the first place... and putting their child in a position to get mauled because proper supervision of both animals and children would NEVER result in an incident like that. I think the man had a heart attack and the dogs probably sat with him until he passed and then moved him. Mastiffs are dogs of great power moving dead weight of a person would be no problem they would just need to get a grip...

3:51 No one is blaming the victim (at least I'm not)...I think people are just trying to say that if it wasn't the dogs that caused his death, they should not be put to death. The news reports indicate that the bite marks found were non life-threatening, so if indeed he died and the dogs tried to move him, why should they be put down. If it is discovered that they caused his death, then YES, they should and will be put down.

The man had a heart attack BECAUSE the dogs were attacking him. Reading some of these comments is hilarious...some of u morons are actually blaming THE VICTIM for what happened. Would u blame a 4yr who gets mauled by a dog for what happened!! so shut the F*** up you idiots!

I hope they kill those dogs!!

I have been around Mastiffs alot. They are generally a passive breed and although scary because of their size, quite friendly. I have seen aggressive dogs. I went to the Sir Francis Drake dog show in Marin County, Ca. and saw, out of the dozens of Mastiffs there, one or two that wanted a piece of me. (they were in pens, and unattended) The majority were just like big puppies. I hope the public does not misunderstand what happened. I hope they find out what were the circumstances of the incident. In the end, it's not the dogs, it's the owners.

The term MASTIFF is being used loosely here and that needs to be addressed. The term mastiff or sometimes molosser refers to extra large breeds such as the English Mastiff, Neopolitan or Italian mastiff, Bull mastiff, moutain dogs, ect. My dogs breed is nick named the gentle giant for a reason. The fawn wagging tail in the video clips appears to be an Old English Mastiff. People out here commenting on vicious big dogs need to know what you are talking about. Old English Mastiffs have been bred for temperment and health, basically any aggression has been bred out of the breed over centuries, hence gentle giant. During roman empire they were fighting dogs and used on english estates as guard dogs. Now, your FULL BLOOD OLD ENGLISH is capable of knocking you down in an attempt to slobber your face, thats the scope. Then again my 216lb STILL A PUPPY mastiff is still a puppy and learning that is not acceptable to jump up and greet you at the door in excitement. This dog also allows a 1 1/2 year old child to slide down his sides, put your fist in his mouth and even stick your face in his bowl and does not show the slightest sign of aggression. Plainly stated that is called proper BREEDING. I am not a breeder, but any respectable breeder, vet or OEM owner will tell you the same, these are not vicious dogs. Now saying all that we do not know the actual temperment or how they have been socialized. Generalized for the breed, I find it very UNlikely they attacked and more likely they were "rousing" in concern which I could see having bite marks on hands and feet. Just wanted to make those points clear so that people are not assuming the tail wagging guy is an attack dog. Keep in my this breed, just about every one of them I have met or read about most enjoy placing their head down on your feet to rest.

TO: "3:07 PM Stacie Says" -

AMEN! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! It's nice to see people who understand dogs. I like/love/trust my dogs, more than most people. I have had many dogs, large and small, and it all depends on the owner! Again, bravo to you Stacie!

The dog in the picture is a neapolitan (Italian) mastiff. Just because he is black doesn't mean he is vicious. I have owned all kinds of mastiffs and they are wonderful gentle dogs who adore children and tolerate them well. They are not agressive by nature, except for the Fila who strongly dislikes anyone outside the family. My own kids have been with mastiffs all their lives.

If these dogs had meant this man harm he would have been torn to bits. Remember the Presa Canario dogs that tore out the throat of Diane Whipple in San Francisco? Those dogs were vicious and they showed it. These dogs knew this man well and most likely were trying to rouse him. Perhaps they thought he was playing a game. These dogs are often close to 200 lbs and are capable of tearing off limbs if they choose. Anyone who knows this would therefore realize this mans wounds were superficial for this breed.

I wish Ving would make a statement already in the dogs defense. Now this breed will suffer because of this when the rescue is already inundated with people not prepared to care for dogs of this size (HINT: if you are reading this- mastiffs eat a LOT and they drool a LOT so if you can't deal with that don't get one)

This guy had a heart attack and died. The dog bites weren't fatal. The dogs loved him and were just showing love.

ANON 4:46
