The man tragically killed by pit bulls in Compton might've been able to avoid death if he'd followed some helpful techniques ... this according to a big-time local breeder, that is.

ICYMI ... a dog owner was mauled to death by his own pit bulls in Compton, California, last Thursday, though his body wasn't discovered -- bloody and lying in his backyard -- until Friday.

Big Gemini Kennels -- a popular pit breeder with a huge following in the Los Angeles dog community and no association to the mauling -- tells TMZ ... the victim of this horrible incident appears to have perhaps taken on more than he could handle by trying to herd so many dogs together. That's BGK's view here, anyway.

Big Gemini tells us they feel like trying to manage 13 dogs -- even with some of them being puppies -- is just far too many. Not just that, but reports from the County that this man appeared to be feeding all the dogs when he died stands out as another red flag to BGK.

We're told that giving them food like all at once may have exacerbated the issue ... and maybe even sent the dogs into a frenzy.

It should be noted ... Big Gemini doesn't have all the info investigators do and is basing their findings on news reports and other publicly available info. With that said, the company's pretty sure there were a few dogs too many here with all of them running around the property when the body was found.

BGK tells us feeding so many dogs at once can lead to heightened food aggression ... and they theorize two adult dogs were probably fighting over some chow when the breeder tried to break things up. At that point ... they suspect all the dogs might've turned on him.

Instead of housing all the dogs in one location in his backyard --- among a variety of kennels -- Big Gemini Kennels says this man should have considered splitting the pups up ... feeding just two or three at a time instead of all 13.

The dogs have since been euthanized ... a move Big Gemini says is necessary because they could have gone on to attack their future families. FWIW ... BGK tells us they believe the puppies could have been rehabilitated ... but they also note, it might've not been worth the risk of these dogs hurting another person. That's how L.A. County felt about it.

Big Gemini goes on to tell us people have been asking about the risks of pit bulls attacking people in the aftermath of this viral new story ... but they emphasize people should fear people more than the dogs themselves -- as they note, it's all about how the dogs are raised.

Jack Harlow's currently dominating the Billboard Hot 100 -- but says the real celeb is his pet pooch ... and he's got a tight leash on the animal's true identity, which he won't reveal.

We shot the breeze with JH in Bev. Hills this week as the Kentucky-born rapper's hit is killing the charts -- his "Lovin On Me" smash hit returned to #1 for the sixth time this week ... and Jack humbly tells us he's currently the act to beat in the rap game.

He totally has the motion to back it up ... his cameo in Ben Affleck's star-studded Dunkin Donuts ad earned high marks on Super Bowl Sunday -- allowing for all the exclusive merch to sell out in minutes!!!

Jack says Ben's relatability made shooting the spot easy-peasy... apparently, they gelled through their connection as actors -- something JH says he appreciated as they collab'd.

Jack's clearly not running from the limelight but when we asked his dog's name, he refused to give it to us ... out of respect for her privacy!!! Aww ... 🥰

The adorable doggy helped JH sell the single to the masses -- he used the doggo in promoting it -- but we respect the insistence on secrecy all the same. Dogs have rights too, dammit!

Nobody knows her name at this point ... and it sounds like Jack's keeping it that way.

One last thing that was kinda funny about this ... we're not 100% sure, but it looks like Jack's pup here might've left a little mess behind. Hard to tell for certain if the crap came from his dog -- it looks a little big for that small thing if we're being honest -- but there it lay.

Ha salido a la luz más información sobre el perro del presidente Biden, Commander: el pastor alemán mordió en al menos 24 ocasiones a agentes del Servicio Secreto.

Commander ya no vive con los Biden en la Casa Blanca, pero cuando estaba allí, el Servicio Secreto tuvo que cambiar sus tácticas como resultado de todos los incidentes con él.

La asombrosa cifra se revela en nuevos documentos internos del Servicio Secreto obtenidos por CNN y esta ni siquiera incluye las veces en que Commander mordisqueó a miembros del personal de la Casa Blanca. Aquí solo se documentan los incidentes con el Servicio Secreto.

Commander no solo hundió sus dientes en los agentes en 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, sino que también los atacó en dos casas de la familia Biden en Delaware, además de en otros viajes a Nantucket y Camp David.

El perro de Biden mordió a miembros del equipo de protección del presidente, además de otros agentes uniformados del Servicio Secreto, y en al menos 10 casos, el agente del Servicio Secreto que fue mordido requirió tratamiento médico.

Commander mordió a agentes en sus brazos, manos, piernas e incluso sus cinturas.

Como hemos informado, el perro del Presidente fue sacado de la Casa Blanca en octubre como resultado de estos incidentes. En ese momento, el Servicio Secreto solo reconoció que había registrado 11 incidentes de este tipo.

En los meses previos a la expulsión de Commander, el Servicio Secreto emitió esta advertencia en un memorando interno: "Las recientes mordeduras del perro nos han desafiado a ajustar nuestras tácticas operativas cuando Commander está presente".

La advertencia también dijo que los agentes del Servicio Secreto "deben ser creativos para garantizar su propia seguridad personal".

More insight on the biting problems with President Biden's family dog Commander ... the German Shepherd bit Secret Service agents on at least two dozen occasions.

Commander is no longer living with the Bidens at the White House ... but when he was, the Secret Service had to change their tactics as a result of all the biting incidents.

The staggering figure is revealed in new internal Secret Service documents obtained by CNN ... and the 24 biting incidents don't even include the times Commander chomped on members of the White House staff ... only incidents with the SS are documented here.

Commander not only sunk his teeth into agents at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he also attacked them at two Biden family homes in Delaware ... plus trips to Nantucket and Camp David.

Biden's dog bit members of the Prez's protective detail, plus other uniformed Secret Service agents ... and in at least 10 instances, the Secret Service agent who was bit required medical treatment.

Commander bit agents on their arms, hands, legs and even their waists.

As we reported ... Commander was kicked out of the White House back in October as a result of his human-biting ways. At the time, the Secret Service only acknowledged 11 biting incidents.

In the months leading up to Commander's ouster, the Secret Service issued this warning in an internal memo ... "The recent dog bites have challenged us to adjust our operational tactics when Commander is present – please give lots of room."

The warning also said Secret Service agents "must be creative to ensure our own personal safety."

A man was mauled to death by his own pit bulls in L.A. County ... and the bloody aftermath was captured by news choppers, as officials found his body in a backyard kennel.

This horrific incident went down Thursday night in Compton -- although, this poor man wasn't discovered until Friday ... and at that point, he was dead. As you can see in the images above -- which have been circulating on social media -- the scene is downright gruesome.

Unclear what exactly led up to the mauling, but the guy's reported to have been in the business of breeding/selling pitties ... and he had at least 5 grown ones in his backyard. Cops say they believe he might have been trying to feed the animals when they turned on him.

Helicopters surveying the scene early Friday appear to have captured images of his body in one of the enclosures on his property -- but later in the day, first responders arrived to contain the situation ... apprehending the dogs themselves.

The drama wasn't over by then, though ... even after the authorities had arrived, a woman had somehow found her way into the yard and needed help escaping from the dogs.

Eventually, firefighters were able to rescue her and get the pits under control. No word on what will happen to the dogs -- they're now in the possession of Animal Control.

The director of LA County's Animal Control department says, "Our deepest sympathies are extended to the family and friends of the victim. We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation to determine the facts and ensure the safety and well-being of both the community and the animals involved."

Un hombre fue mutilado hasta la muerte por sus propios pitbulls en el condado de Los Ángeles y las sangrientas secuelas fueron capturadas por unos helicópteros de noticias, mientras los funcionarios encontraron su cuerpo en una perrera trasera.

Este horrible incidente ocurrió el jueves por la noche en Compton, aunque este pobre hombre no fue descubierto hasta el viernes, y en ese momento ya estaba muerto.

Como se puede ver en las imágenes que han estado circulando en las redes sociales, la escena es francamente horrible.

No está claro qué causó exactamente esa mutilación, pero se ha informado que el hombre estaba en el negocio de la cría y venta de pitbull, y tenía al menos cinco de ellos en su patio trasero. La policía cree que estaba intentando alimentar a los animales cuando se le echaron encima.

Los helicópteros que estaban sobrevolando la escena temprano el viernes parecen haber capturado imágenes de su cuerpo en uno de los recintos de su propiedad. Más tarde, los primeros auxilios llegaron a contener la situación y aprehendieron a sus propios perros.

El drama no había terminado allí, sin embargo. Incluso después de que las autoridades llegaran la escena, una mujer que había encontrado su camino hacia el patio necesitó ayuda para escapar de los perros.

Finalmente, los bomberos pudieron rescatarla y controlar a los perros. No se sabe qué pasará con ellos, pero ahora están en posesión de Control de Animales.

El director del departamento de Control de Animales de Los Angeles County dice: "Nuestras más profundas condolencias se extienden a la familia y amigos de la víctima. Nos comprometemos a llevar a cabo una investigación exhaustiva para determinar los hechos y garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar tanto de la comunidad como de los animales implicados"

El perro de Goldie Hawn es una celebridad local en su propia casa llena, porque apareció en un anuncio del Super Bowl, algo que Goldi Hawn y Kate Hudson quisieron destacar en línea.

Por supuesto, estamos hablando de Roy, un adorable labrador que le regalaron a Goldie en 2020 cuando era solo un cachorro. Ahora, unos cuatro años después, el perro ha crecido y puso manos a la obra en uno de los anuncios más importantes del domingo.

No hay más que ver el video: Roy dice "sostén mi cerveza"... haciendo gala de sus dotes actorales en un conmovedor anuncio de Budweiser.

El anuncio comienza con una tormenta de nieve retrasando una entrega de Bud a un pub remoto y privado de cerveza, por lo que recurren a métodos anticuados, el transporte de la preciosa carga a través de un caballo y un carro.

A pesar de sentirse desorientado en medio del tiempo tumultuoso, un faro de esperanza emerge cuando aparece el perro leal del pub a través de la nieve a la taberna. Finalmente, con la ayuda de Roy, la cerveza llega al pub, aunque con un ligero retraso. ¡Trabajo en equipo!

Kate compartió el clip en Insta de la familia viendo el hito importante de Roy durante una fiesta el domingo, todo el mundo estaba muy orgulloso de la querida mascota.

Goldie Hawn's dog is a local celeb in his own star-studded household -- 'cause he showed up in a Super Bowl ad ... something GH and Kate Hudson wanted to highlight online.

Of course, we're talking about Roy ... a golden lab that Goldie herself had been gifted in 2020 -- when he was just a puppy. Now, some 4 years later, the dog's all grown up -- and the Russell/Hawn brood put the pooch to work in one of the bigger commercials Sunday.

Just check out the clip yourself -- despite coming from a family of big-name stars, Roy said "hold my beer" ... flexing his acting chops for a heartwarming Budweiser commercial.

The ad kicks off with a colossal snowstorm delaying a Bud delivery to a remote, beer-deprived pub ... so they resort to old-fashioned methods, transporting the precious cargo via horse and carriage.

Despite feeling disorientated amid the tumultuous weather, a beacon of hope emerges when the pub's loyal dog Roy emerges ... navigating them through the snow to the pub. Eventually, with Roy's help, the beer arrives at the pub, albeit slightly delayed. Teamwork!

Kate shared the IG clip of the family watching Roy's major milestone during an SB watch party Sunday ... everyone proudly showering him with a helluva lot of affection for his achievements.

It's almost time for the big game, but we're not talking about the Super Bowl ... the most puppies ever will face off in the 20th annual Puppy Bowl, right before they get new homes.

Dan Schachner -- the 13-year Puppy Bowl "Ruff-eree" -- joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live" and gave us all the details on the pooches, from big to small, playing in the game. Plus, we had some visitors in our office to highlight the real intent of the event ... getting shelter dogs adopted from Angel City Pit Bull in Los Angeles.

This year, Puppy Bowl is going bigger than ever in several ways -- Dan says there are 131 puppies playing, representing 73 animal shelters across 36 states, the most ever.

Levi the Great Dane is going to check into the game when the bigger dogs get to run in the 4th quarter -- and he's already a whopping 70 pounds at just 3 months old!

On the opposite end of the scale, Dan says the Puppy Bowl's smallest pooch ever will take the field ... Sweatpea is playing the first quarter at a mere 1.7 pounds. Yeah, she can fit in the palm of your hand!

Also new this year is Dan's assistant "Ruff-eree" ... his poodle mix rescue, Whistle.

In addition to Dan getting officiating help, he says you can also expect to see pups in several new off-the-field jobs -- like cheerleading squad and working cameras.

The best part ... Dan says the Puppy Bowl has a 100% adoption rate and helps animal shelters it partners with find new homes for their rescues, thanks to awareness raised on the upcoming TV broadcast.

Es casi la hora del gran partido, pero no estamos hablando del Super Bowl... la mayor cantidad de cachorros de la historia se enfrentarán en la Puppy Bowl anual justo antes de conseguir nuevos hogares.

Dan Schachner -el referí por 13 años- se unió a nosotros el jueves en "TMZ Live" y nos dio todos los detalles sobre los perros, desde los más grandes a los más pequeños. Además, tuvimos algunos visitantes en nuestra oficina para darle énfasis a la verdadera intención del evento, conseguir que la gente adopte un cachorro.

Este año, Puppy Bowl va más grande que nunca en varios aspectos, Dan dice que hay 131 cachorros jugando en representación de 73 refugios de animales a través de 36 estados, la mayor cantidad jamás vista.

Levi el Gran Danés va a participar como el perro más grande, ¡que ya pesa 70 libras con solo 3 meses de edad!

En el extremo opuesto de la escala, Dan dice que el perro más pequeño de la Puppy Bowl jamás saldrá al campo, Sweatpea está jugando con solo 1.7 libras. Sí, ¡cabe en la palma de la mano!

Además, el referí va a tener un nuevo acompañante este año, el simpático Whistle.

Dan dice que además de conseguir ayuda, dice que también puede esperar ver cachorros en varios nuevos puestos de trabajo fuera del campo, como un equipo de cheerleaders y camarógrafos caninos.

Y lo mejor de todo es que Dan dice que el Puppy Bowl tiene una tasa de adopción del 100% y ayuda a los refugios de animales que se asocia con encontrar nuevos hogares para sus rescates, gracias a la sensibilización planteada en la próxima emisión de televisión.

El divorcio de Chuck Lorre finalmente ha llegado a su fin, y para alguien con un acuerdo prenupcial, seguro que se siente como que está pagando demasiado por un matrimonio que solo duró tres años y medio, pero todavía se queda con su mejor amigo de 4 patas.

El creador de "Two And a Half Men" recientemente finalizó su divorcio de Arielle Lorre después de la presentación para poner fin al matrimonio en 2022. De acuerdo con nuevos documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, sabemos que Chuck va a terminar desembolsando una pequeña fortuna.

Chuck accedió a pagar hasta $5 millones en el acuerdo. Tuvo que pagar 1.000 dólares tan pronto la sentencia fue presentada (la semana pasada) y acordó pagar un extra de $4 mil en 30 días después de Arielle se mueve fuera de la cuna ... que ella dice que tenía la intención de hacer el 1 de febrero.

El lado positivo es que Chuck se aferra a su perro, Harvey, así que al menos tiene eso. Sin embargo, Arielle tiene "visitas" con el perro por lo que tiene que compartir.

Lo que es interesante es el hecho de que Chuck está teniendo que pagarle tanto a su ahora ex-esposa -la tercera en su vida hasta ahora- a pesar de que habían firmado un acuerdo prenupcial. De hecho, sabemos que tuvo que desembolsar dinero extra: fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que los 5 millones de dólares que Chuck está pagando son en realidad más de lo que exigía el acuerdo prenupcial original.

Última nota interesante... hay una cláusula de no-disparagement en este acuerdo que se aplica a ambas partes.

Una vez más, estos dos estuvieron casados solo unos pocos años y, sin embargo, Chuck está desembolsando una gran cantidad. Ahora bien, aunque lo que ha aceptado pagar puede parecer mucho para el común de los mortales, el tipo está considerado el rey de las comedias de situación, con un montón de créditos en su haber.

No sólo tiene "TAAHM" en su haber... sino que ha creado otras series enormes como "The Big Bang Theory", "Dharma & Greg", "Young Sheldon" y muchas otras. En total, él vale cientos de millones de dólares ... así que para él esto es probablemente calderilla.

Chuck Lorre's divorce has finally come to an end -- and for someone with a prenup, it sure feels like he's paying out the nose for a marriage that only lasted three and a half years ... but he still gets to keep his best 4-legged friend.

The "Two And a Half Men" creator recently finalized his divorce from Arielle Lorre after filing to end the marriage in 2022. According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, we know know Chuck will end up shelling out a small fortune ... to the tune of 7 digits.

Per the paperwork, CL agreed to cough up $5 million in the settlement -- $1 mil was paid as soon as the judgment was entered (last week) and he agreed to pay an extra $4 mil 30 days after Arielle moves out of the crib ... which she says she intended to do on Feb. 1.

The upside ... Chuck gets to hold onto to pooch, Harvey, so at least he's got that. Arielle does get "liberal visitation" with the dog though -- so he's gotta share.

What's interesting is the fact that Chuck is having to shell out so much to his now-ex-wife -- the third in his life thus far -- even though things were all spelled out in an ironclad prenup. In fact, we know he coughed up extra dough -- sources with direct knowledge tell us the $5 mil Chuck's paying is actually more than the OG prenup required.

Last interesting note ... there's a non-disparagement clause in this settlement that applies to both parties -- so no trashing the other in books or other media once the dust settles.

Again, these 2 were only married a few years -- and yet, Chuck's biting the bullet, or so it seems. Now, while what he's agreed to pay might sound like a lot to your average Joe -- the dude's considered the King of Sitcoms, with a crap ton of show credits to his name.

Not only does he have 'TAAHM' under his belt ... but other huge shows he's created include "The Big Bang Theory," "Dharma & Greg" "Young Sheldon" and lots of others. All told he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars ... so to him, this is probably chump change.

Un vuelo de United Airlines que aterrizó en la Costa Oeste apestaba a unos 30.000 pies de altura.

Échale un vistazo a estas imágenes del vuelo 498, que fue tomada la noche del lunes mientras viajaba de Denver a Portland, donde un puñado de pasajeros desafortunados fueron sometidos al dulce olor a caca justo en el medio del viaje.

Una mujer que al parecer había estado volando la mayor parte del día -procedentes de Cincinnati- viajaba con una chihuahua hembra en una caja.

En algún momento del vuelo, nos dicen que esta mujer sacó al perro de su jaula porque estaba inquieto y fue entonces cuando el cachorro abrió sus entrañas y cagó por todas partes.

Aquí es donde vienen las quejas. Nos dicen que la gente en el avión no se molestó tanto por el accidente en sí (cosas que pasan después de todo) mayor problema fue la respuesta tan lenta ante la situación.

Testigos presenciales nos dicen que los auxiliares de vuelo tardaron unos 10 minutos en acercarse a comprobar que el perro había hecho caca y que había excrementos por todos los asientos y el suelo.

Nos dicen que la gente estaba literalmente estaba sintiendose mal por el olor, y mientras que un asistente finalmente se acercó a tratar con el problema, testigos presenciales dicen que tomó demasiado tiempo y simplemente no se trató adecuadamente. También nos han dicho que a los pasajeros de la zona se les ofrecieron vales de vuelo de entre 50 y 75 dólares... y nada más por el momento.

12:21 PM PT -- A United Airlines spokesperson tells TMZ ... "Our inflight crew thoroughly cleaned the area shortly after customers brought this to our attention. We provided sanitizing wipes and offered travel vouchers to those in the surrounding area."

A United Airlines flight that touched down on the West Coast stunk to high heaven some 30,000 feet in the air ... all because of some dog doo-doo that spilled out into the open.

Check out this footage of UA Flight 498, which was taken Monday night traveling from Denver to Portland ... where a handful of unlucky passengers, we're told, were subjected to the sweet smell of caca right in the middle of the journey, which is visible here.

Here's what we're told happened, per eyewitnesses on the scene ... a woman who'd apparently been flying most of the day -- coming from Cincinnati -- was traveling with a pooch in a crate ... which we're told was a female chihuahua.

At some point in the flight, we're told this woman took the dog out of its crate because it was fussy -- and that's when the pup opened up its bowels and blasted crap all over the place.

This is where the complaints come in -- we're told people on the plane weren't so much bothered by the accident itself (s*** happens after all) ... but the bigger issue we're told passengers were dealing with was the alleged slow response to this whole situation.

Eyewitnesses tell us it took flight attendants a good 10 minutes to even come over and address the fact the dog had pooped -- and that there was feces all over the seats and floor.

We're told people were literally getting sick having to sit through this mess -- and while an attendant eventually came over to deal with it ... eyewitnesses say it took way too long, and just wasn't dealt with properly/in a timely fashion. We're also told passengers in the immediate area were offered flight vouchers between $50-$75 ... and nothing more at the moment.

Una mujer fue víctima de robo, pero se hizo cargo y terminó arriba del capó de un carro que huyó a toda velocidad.

Ali Zacharias estaba disfrutando de un almuerzo en un Whole Foods en el centro de Los Ángeles con su Bulldog Francés Onyx sentado a sus pies debajo de la mesa, cuando una mujer se acercó y comenzó a llamar al perro.

¡Resulta que ella era una secuestradora de perros! Agarró la correa y comenzó a alejarse.

Ali inicialmente pensó que era un simple caso de confusión de identidad y comenzó a gritar: "Disculpe, ese es mi perro".

Cuando la mujer la ignoró y siguió alejándose, Ali empezó a perseguirla, pero la mujer saltó a un carro cercano que estaba ahí para arrancar.

Ali intentó entrar en el carro, pero estaba lleno de personas, quienes empujaron a Ali y cerraron las puertas. Ali se paró frente al vehículo y gritó pidiendo ayuda, pero nadie acudió.

El conductor se fue, golpeando Ali con el capó del vehículo a toda velocidad mientras ella se aferraba para salvar su vida.

El carro recorrió varias manzanas antes de hacer un giro brusco, arrojando violentamente a Ali desde el capó a la calle.

Ali denunció el secuestro a la policía de Los Ángeles, quienes rastrearon la zona en busca de imágenes de vigilancia de los sospechosos.

El carro fue descrito como un Kia Forte sedán blanco al que le faltaba el tapacubos delantero del lado del conductor.

Onyx es un Merle Frenchie negro con dos ojos de distinto color y un pelaje moteado que sigue desaparecido.

Ali le dijo a KTLA TV que "me robaron a mi hijo".

Ella continuó: "Solo estoy rezando para poder recuperarlo".

El robo de Bulldogs franceses se ha vuelto bastante común, siendo el robo más famoso el de los perros de Lady Gaga. Sabemos que el paseador les estaba dando un paseo cuando un carro se detuvo y dos hombres salieron a robar los perros.

Finalmente, los perros fueron devueltos y se practicaron detenciones.

When a French Bulldog was stolen right from under the owner's feet, she took matters into her own hands ... with the Dog Mom clinging to the hood of the thieves’ speeding getaway car.

Ali Zacharias was enjoying lunch at a Whole Foods in Downtown L.A. with her French Bulldog Onyx sitting by her feet under the table, when a woman walked up and began calling for the dog.

Turns out she was a dognapper, and grabbed the leash and began walking away.

Ali initially thought it was a simple case of mistaken identity, and started calling out, “Excuse me, that’s my dog.”

When the woman ignored her and continued walking away, Ali gave chase, but the woman jumped in a nearby getaway car that was lying in wait.

Ali tried to enter the car, but it was packed with other people ... they shoved Ali out and locked the doors. Ali stood in front of the vehicle and screamed for help ... but no one came.

The driver took off, knocking Ali onto the hood of the speeding vehicle, while she clung on for dear life.

The car went several blocks before making a sharp turn, violently throwing Ali from the hood of the car into the street.

Ali reported the dognapping to LAPD, which canvassed the area for any surveillance footage of the suspects.

The car was described as a white Kia Forte sedan with a missing front driver’s side hubcap.

Onyx is a black Merle Frenchie with 2 different colored eyes and a spotted coat and is still missing.

Ali told KTLA TV, they “stole my child away from me.”

She continued, “I’m just praying that I can get him back.”

This has been a significant problem in recent years -- stealing French Bulldogs. The most famous theft, of course, Lady Gaga's dogs who were being walked by her dogwalker when a car rolled by, stopped, and 2 men got out to steal the dogs.

The dogwalker was shot and the dogs were taken. Eventually, the dogs were returned and arrests were made.
