May 26, 2013: A 49 year old man is recovering after being attacked by three vicious dogs in Sydney's southwest.
Three dogs that viciously attacked a jogger in Sydney's southwest should be killed, police say.
The dogs attacked the man, 49, while he was jogging at Ashcroft about 2pm Sunday.
The victim was left with deep lacerations after he was bitten on the arm, under the arm and on the chest.
He's currently in Liverpool Hospital getting treatment.
Another man, 54, who assisted the 49-year-old was also taken to hospital with a hand wound.
The dogs were collected by council rangers.
Police said in a statement that they would be "making an application for the dogs to be destroyed".
An eye-witness to the attack told the Seven Network that the dogs were pitbulls.
Police are yet to identify the breeds of the dogs involved.
Andrew Richards, from the Australian Pitbull Association, said the dog resembled an Australian Mastiff or American Bulldog.
He called on authorities to conduct a proper investigation into the attack before giving the dogs involved "the chop".
