A 74-year-old man who was attacked by two large dogs in Northeast D.C. early yesterday remains in serious condition, reports WJLA, having suffered multiple lacerations and a broken arm.

MPD spokesperson Tisha Gant says a 911 caller reported that the man was bitten by the dogs in the middle of the 400 block of 36th Street at about 6:45 a.m.

The victim, identified as Sawney Bell, suffered multiple lacerations and a broken arm during the attack.

An employee at the tow yard says the dogs involved in the attack are Cane Corsos, a muscular and large-boned breed. The Towing Pros employee tells ABC 7 News that two male dogs are named Money and Kilo, weigh between 120 and 140 pounds and are 9 months and 3 years old.

MPD issued two citations to the owner of the two dogs for keeping them loose.

Two Cane Corsos were similarly involved in an attack on a group of children in the Northeast neighborhood of Trinidad in April.

In late April a Maryland court ruled that pit bulls are “inherently dangerous,” increasing the liability for their owners and even landlords who rent apartments to people who own them. In D.C., a dog that attacks a person is deemed a “dangerous dog,” and any subsequent attacks can lead to stiffer penalties and lawsuits. The two Cane Corso attacks seem to at least show that it’s not just pit bulls that can be dangerous dogs, but that how they are raised and kept can certainly have an impact.

UPDATE, 3:30 p.m.: Interesting little add-on to this story: according to a U.S. Postal Service study from May 2012, letters carriers were attacked by dogs 17 times in D.C. in 2011. That’s puts us 23rd nationwide; Los Angeles led all cities with 83 attacks.
