A 59-year-old man was killed in a dog attack at his home in Morocco on Thursday, April 17, 2026. The incident occurred in the town of Sidi Allal El Bahraoui, located in the province of Khemisset.
According to local authorities and reports from the state news agency MAP, the victim was attacked by his own five dogs in the garden of his residence. Emergency services were called to the scene but were unable to save the man's life.
The local gendarmerie has opened an investigation to determine the precise circumstances that led to the fatal attack. The breed of the dogs involved has not been officially specified in initial reports.
This tragic event has drawn attention to the risks associated with keeping multiple dogs, though such fatal incidents involving owners and their own pets remain relatively rare.
