A man walking in a DeLand neighborhood was attacked by pit bulls on Wednesday morning, authorities said.

The incident resulted in the canines' owner surrendering 15 dogs, including 12 puppies, to the city's Animal Control Department, said city of DeLand spokesman Chris Graham.

May Martin gave up her dogs and was cited for having the dogs run loose, Graham said.

The dog bite victim, identified as Donald Bobble, 60, of DeLand, was walking in the 800 block of South Thompson Avenue around 10:14 a.m. when he was attacked by two to three pit bulls, officials said.

DeLand Animal Control officers responded to 409 1/2 West Beresford Ave., a nearby home at the corner of South Thompson and Beresford Avenue and seized three adult pit bull dogs and 12 puppies.

The dogs had been on the loose and two of them are believed to have attacked Bobble, Graham said.

Martin was informed of the incident. Investigators determined that a female pit bull named Reindeer, the mother of 12 recently born puppies, and an adult male pit bull named Briskco, likely attacked Bobble, Graham said.

A third pit bull, a young female named "Bella," was likely not involved in the attack, Graham said.

Reindeer's 12 puppies were found underneath the porch of the West Beresford residence. The three dogs and the 12 puppies were taken to the city's kennel and Martin was cited for the incident, Graham said.
