Woman Killed by Her Own Pet Dog

CONNERSVILLE, Ind. — A one-year-old chow mix apparently turned on its owner, killing her with bites to her throat and arm, authorities said.
Phyllis G. Carroll, 63, was mauled by one of her two black chow mix dogs around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, said Fayette County Coroner Joe Todd.
Both dogs were seized and will be destroyed at the request of the victim's family, he said.
Carroll kept the dogs, a male and female from the same litter, in a yard behind her home in Connersville. There were no witnesses, but Todd said authorities believed the male dog, which was the larger of the two, attacked Carroll.
The dog bit Carroll in the arm as she carried treats out from the house, then bit her throat after she fell to the ground. Eight sets of bite marks were found on Carroll, Todd said.
She bled to death from her wounds, he said.
Friends said Carroll had become increasingly afraid of the aggressive dogs, Todd said.
"In 34 years of investigating deaths I have never, ever had a vicious animal attack that resulted in the death of the victim," he said.

Came across several when in Cable TV servicing, and was nipped right in front of the owner by 2 separate ones! Never had a problem with pit bulls if owner was present....(or Rotts/German Sheps)

I remember along time ago....my friend worked for a cable company.

He went to the home and had to do some repairs on the outside where this Rottweiler was chained.

He asked the owner if the DOG bites and the owner said ..."NO she won't bite ya...she's a little fur ball"

THE dog attacked my friend and he had to have numerous stitches in his arm.

Suppose to be 'introduced' to the dog, and dog is put up or owner stays there with dog leashed! When a Cable Guy/Gal comes in as a total stranger, with all diff smells from other houses/pets, and rattling tool belt (back off, Ladies!) and steel-shank leather boots clomping, to a territorial animal like a dog, this stranger is a threat!!

Never trust a strange dog.....and smart dog owners expose their dogs to all types of people, noise, equipment etc...it helps your dog be more well rounded in the long run...not so timid, shy, scared etc and those types of dogs are more apt to bite out of fear.....~

When anyone asks me if my dog bites, my answer is "he has teeth doesn't he".

The key thing is this story is that the owner had become afraid of the dogs. When you are afraid, you are uncomfortable. Dogs sense that and become uncomfortable as well. She should have gotten rid of these animals as soon as she became afraid of them.

I've been around and love big dogs all my life! So I dont have a fear of them--usually just slowly approach them, kneel to their level, open hand to sniff (palms up) and become 'friends' (to a certain degree..ha ha) with them. Usually dogs love me and followed me around in Cable more pestering me than anything else! ha ha
