A Texas man lost both of his ears and part of his nose in a brutal attack by two pit bulls, authorities say.   

Graphic images show the severe injuries sustained by victim Milton Sturges, 58, who was walking near his home in Arlington on Wednesday when the dogs attacked him.

A neighbor heard the man screaming and notified police, who arrived on the scene and witnessed the man being mauled. 

One officer discharged his weapon, striking both animals. Officers were then able to pull the dogs off of Sturges - who was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.

Milton Sturges, 58, lost both of his ears and part of his nose in a brutal pit bull attack in Arlington, Texas, on Wednesday. Disturbing images show the extent of his injuries

Sturges is now in stable condition but will likely have to undergo reconstructive surgery. A GoFundMe page has raised more than $12,200 to help cover his medical expenses

'He lost both of his ears. His nose was partially torn off and his bottom lip was partially torn off,' Omar Sturges, the victim's nephew, told CBS 11. 

Despite his extensive injuries - which will most likely require reconstructive surgery - the 58-year-old is said to be in good spirits.  

'He's doing good,' Omar said. 'He's talking. He's moving around. Even laughed a couple of times.' 

A GoFundMe page has raised more than $12,200 to help cover Sturges' medical expenses as of Saturday night.

Authorities are now searching for the owner of the adult pit bulls which later died in the custody of local animal control officials.

One of the dogs is described as a gray, 80-pound male with 'cropped ears' that 'appeared to have chain marks (scars) around [his] neck as if he had been chained up'.

The other dog is described as a roughly 55-pound brown female with cropped ears that 'appeared to have previously had a litter of puppies'.

Neither dog was wearing a collar or was microchipped, according to reports.    

Arlington Police Sgt Karen Standback said the dogs were roaming together but could have traveled some distance.

Omar urged anyone with information about the dogs' owner to come forward so they can be held responsible for that attack. 

'They could have more dogs and this can go on again next week,' he said.

'I don't want to see another family go through this simply because they're not able to find the owner.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
