Authorities say Donald Ray Allen had been out for a walk when he was mauled by the animals.
The 65-year-old’s body was found by the side of a road in the state’s Jackson County near the border with Alabama.
"Upon completing a thorough investigation, it was determined that the subject had been walking in the roadway when he suffered life-threatening injuries from an animal attack,” said the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in a statement.
”The injuries are believed to have been caused by a pack of stray dogs roaming in the area.”
Officials say that animal control officers have set traps in the area to capture the dogs.
There were 521 fatal dog attacks between 2005 and 2019, according to dogsbite.org.
