Surprised I had to read this in the NY Post and not here.
A pack of vicious wiener dogs mauled an Oklahoma woman to death, according to reports.
Tracy Garcia was standing outside her home last week when her neighbor’s six standard dachshund and terrier mixes and one border collie mix suddenly attacked her — leaving her with injuries so severe, she later died.
“This is a bad situation, a very unfortunate situation,” Carter County Sheriff Chris Bryant told KTEN. “This is just a bad deal all the way around.”
Deputies shot and killed one dog who charged at them and the other six were taken to the Westwood Veterinary Hospital to be put down at the owner’s request.
The dogs involved in the attack were all under 40 pounds, with legs shorter than an adult’s hands, according to images of their remains reviewed by the Daily Ardmoreite.
“They have really noticeable characteristics like their knobby legs, knees, very short-legged dogs,” euthanasia technician Amanda Dinwiddie told KXII.
Six of the dogs were about 1 year old and the seventh was about 3 years old and possibly the pack’s mother.
All were infested with fleas and ticks, Dinwiddie said.
“We were cleaning ticks off ourselves all day,” she said. “They are very covered, you can tell they have been living out in the woods.”
It’s unclear what led to the attack, but the investigation is ongoing.
Garcia, 52, a housekeeper at the Hilton Inn, was buried Tuesday and is survived by a son and daughter, according to her obituary.
