A 3-year-old Riverside boy was in critical condition after being attacked by family dogs, the Riverside Police Department said.

About 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15, one of the boy’s parents called firefighters to their home in the 4600 block of Tomlinson Avenue in the Arlanza neighborhood. He was taken to one hospital before being transferred to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, Officer Ryan Railsback said.

The boy was last listed in critical condition, Railsback said Friday.

The dogs are male and female unaltered Neapolitan Mastiffs, Riverside County Animal Services spokesman John Welsh said. They are scheduled to be euthanized, Welsh said.

“Both agencies are working together to determine if any criminal negligence is a factor, but no further details are available at this time,” Railsback wrote in an email.

The website dogtime.com describes the Neapolitan Mastiff breed as “a family and guard dog who was developed in southern Italy. Today this massive breed is known as a gentle giant.” The American Kennel Club says the breed “is sweet, placid and steady among loved ones.”
