ALBERTSON, N.Y. (WCBS) - A 70-year-old New York woman was mauled to death by the family dog in a scene police described as “horrific.”
Warning: This article contains disturbing details that may be upsetting to readers.
The victim’s husband told police when he returned home from work Wednesday, he found the pit bull dragging his wife through the backyard. Responding officers described the victim as having been mutilated.
Police say the 7-year-old dog turned on them before an officer shot and killed it.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The dog was reportedly the couple’s son’s pet dog, but he died just a couple weeks ago in a motorcycle crash.
Police say they have no reports of any previous incidents regarding the dog.

How horribly tragic….First the son, then his wife…
“…pit bull…”
Ok.
I didn’t realize that there were Amish dogs.
Prayers up.
Sounds like the poor dog went nuts after the son died.
“Judge not lest ye be judged.”
What about the white people who oppose God and the black people who are faithful to God, including many being persecuted and sometimes killed in Africa for their faith?
Police say they have no reports of any previous incidents regarding the dog.
I guess that perfect record has been blown.
Never watch “The Old Man” with the dog in the room.
What about them?
NEVER TRUST A PIT BULL OR A DEMOCRAT....NEVER!
“ The officer who shot the dog is receiving treatment in the hospital for trauma after seeing the carnage.
The scene was pretty horrific. We don’t know what time the attack took place but there was obviously a lot of mutilation on the body and the arm, the face, the legs,” Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said at a press conference.
“The officer saw something that was very traumatic, we take care of our officers and make sure they’re OK.”
How awful. (The dog had lived at the home it’s whole life. )
The dog had lived at the home it’s whole life. So it was very much a family pet.
First Tony Dow, now this woman gets killed by her dog, again.
Let me guess without reading the article: golden retriever or cocker spaniel.
That poor man. My heart hurts for him.
Prayers up for his comfort and strength. May he be surrounded by love and support throughout this extremely difficult time.
If you’re stupid enough to own a pit bull as a pet, then don’t complain when something doesn’t go quite right....
This doesn’t even need to be in the news.
I know that chihuahuas can be every bit as mean as pit bulls. I also know that chihuahuas can’t kill me if they get mean.
They’re just misunderstood.
