Police have issued an urgent appeal to find two dogs that may have been involved in a man's death in the West Midlands.
A photo of one of the dogs has been released after officers found a man dead in the back garden of a property in Rubery in the early hours of Thursday.
Two dogs were seized, but two others that may also have been there are missing.
Police believe the man, 33, was attacked by at least one of the animals, and that it may have contributed to his death.
"We really need to hear from anyone who has seen these dogs and it's vital that if you see them, you don't approach them but call 999 immediately," warned Inspector Leanne Chapman.
West Midlands Police said it believes the dogs are American Bulldog-types rather than a banned breed.
It said the dog that isn't pictured is similar but black.
A post-mortem examination on the man is being carried out today to establish his cause of death.
Police are carrying out house-to-house enquiries, reviewing CCTV, and using specialist dog officers and drones to try to find them.
