Naicker says he suffered serious wounds to his head and neck.

"He sustained very severe injuries to his neck whereby the bones got fractured, thus fracturing the windpipe. So, yesterday they did try take him off the ventilator off and put him on oxygen," Naicker said.

Naicker says they've made contact with the dogs' owner.
