A report will be prepared for the coroner. Whyalla Council has since confirmed it has euthanised the dog after the incident.<\/p>\n

Last month, a 54-year-old man was left fighting for his life in hospital after he was mauled by his own dogs at his western Sydney home.<\/p>\n

Officers with the Blacktown Police Area Command arrived at an address on Kildare Rd, Doonside, and were told the man had been attacked by several dogs.<\/p>\n

A CareFlight helicopter was sent to the scene, with a specialist doctor and paramedics providing critical care to the man.<\/p>\n

He sustained injuries to his head, chest and arm, CareFlight said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Australia Post has been calling on dog owners to secure their pets as new figures reveal 46 postal workers a week are being bitten or threatened by dogs.<\/p>\n

In the past six months, about 1200 dog-related incidents have occurred across Australia, with numbers expected to climb as parcel deliveries surge during the busy Christmas season.<\/p>\n
