Deputies responded to the location and made contact with the male victim. The victim suffered puncture bite marks on his leg. Deputies located the dogs several yards away and corralled them to prevent further pedestrians from being attacked. Public Service Announcements were given to business owners and customers to stay inside. Morongo Basin Animal Control responded and captured both dogs. The owner of the dogs also responded and assisted with the dogs, however, both dogs were taken for quarantine precautions.
