Two of three pit bulls that mauled a Chinese-food deliveryman — tearing off one of his earlobes — Sunday in Brooklyn may be sent back home, authorities said yesterday.

The dogs could be returned after spending 10 days in an animal shelter while health officials await the results of rabies tests.

The third dog that attacked Xiu Min Li, 48, died after being collared at the scene, authorities said.

Cops said Li, dropping off Jing Lung Chinese Restaurant menus door to door, entered a Winthrop Street yard at about 10:30 a.m. despite “Beware of dogs” signs on a gate.

Relatives said Li, also bitten on the arms and legs, insisted he saw no signs.
