BEND, OR -- A man living in the area north of Juniper Ridge known as “Dirt World” died Wednesday after he was attacked by as many as three dogs.

Deschutes County deputies responded to the area between Bend and Redmond at about 1:15 a.m. and found 56-year-old Joseph Keeton with a substantial amount of blood loss. Medics and deputies began life saving measures but Keeton died later at the hospital.

The owner of the dogs, 38-year-old Jessica Rae Charity, reportedly crated the animals and deputies say she’s cooperating with the investigation.
