"Zed's dead, baby"

Dunno if "Zed's" his name, but Ving Rhames' dogs got medieval on his ass! The man was the caretaker of the 4 dogs, mastiffs, for 2 years, was found mauled on the front lawn. My sister has a mastiff, Simon, who is gigantic and who'd probably find a fully-grown male a 'snack' without having to share with 3 compadres - but he won't enter a room if a broom is placed across the doorway. She'd better buy more brooms.
