ATLANTA — A former college professor and his wife were apparently attacked and killed by nearly a dozen dogs along a rural northeast Georgia road where their bodies were found mutilated, authorities said Monday. Preliminary autopsy results from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation showed Sherry Schweder, 65, likely died of injuries from a dog attack, Oglethorpe County Sheriff Mike Smith said. Autopsy results for her husband, Lothar Karl Schweder, 77, were not yet available, but Smith said it's likely he was also attacked by dogs because the scene was so grisly. Smith said officials were going to round up at least 11 dogs seen in the area where the couple's bodies were found Saturday morning by five passers-by.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the mixed-breed dogs were feral or someone's pets. There had been no recent complaints about vicious dogs in the area, Smith said. Stephanie Shain, a spokeswoman for the Humane Society of the United States, said it was "uncommon" for people to be bitten to death by dogs, citing federal figures that the average number of fatal dog bites each year is 16. The bodies were found along a dirt road near the couple's home in Lexington and had been there for at least 24 hours before they were found, said Madison County Coroner James Mathews.
These had to be feral dogs. The Atlanta metro area has had a huge problem in the last 18 months or so with people who lose their homes to foreclosure leaving their pets either in the house, or to roam wild. Hence the forming of these wild dog packs.
