This is one of the most detailed news stories of the attack in Massachusetts...

DA: Boy attacked, killed by dogs he was caring for Story Link
It's unclear at this time why (Ryan) Hazel was attacked. Quinn said the breeds of the four dogs are Dutch Shepherd and Belgian Malinois.
...
Ferry said (Scott) Dunmore had not licensed the dogs with the town of Dighton, which requires a kennel license for properties with four or more dogs. She said she had heard he had more than four dogs and stopped by his property multiple times attempting to inspect it, but he wasn’t home.
Additionally, there were also puppies that were taken in to custody by animal control.
