Police in the Far North say it's likely a man mauled in Panguru was not attacked by his own dogs.
Neville Thomson was found dead at his property on Thursday. Twenty five dogs have been rounded up as police investigate the death.
Thomson's family say their dad was taken advantage of by an old friend who was staying with him at the time.
