Owner gives away mastiff dogs after attack

An elderly man had to give away his three Tibetan mastiffs after his 10-year-old grandson was bitten by one of them in Guangdong province.

Chen raised three mastiffs, an ancient breed of dogs that can grow big and tall, including a mother and two young cubs at home. A cub bit his grandson when he arrived at Chen's home in the district's Lecong township to see him on Sunday morning.
