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.

“The dog had lived at the home it’s whole life. So it was very much a family pet.”

40-50 year old man with motorcycle and pit bull still living with parents. I am sure there is more to the story.

Probably on the verge of turning its life around ... just a couple more days and understanding.

“Let me guess without reading the article: golden retriever or cocker spaniel.”

Another clue. The dog was eating the woman when she was found.

I guess that perfect record has been blown.

Pit bulls can be such nice dogs...until they aren't.

You will have people come in and say how great their Pitbull are and the only ones who kill were mistreated.

“A cop should be able to see such sights without being hospitalized. Being New York, this malingering cop is snapping in for a disability retirement.
A real cop would meet his buddies for a few drinks and bar therapy. That’s not sarcasm either.”

When I went through the police academy many years ago they showed us the most God-awful pictures you can imagine. They showed pictures of a sex change operation, victims of a local serial killer who would hide his victims and return for days to mutilate them, and two children who had their heads literally blown off by their father with a shotgun. Those are the ones I remember. The purpose was to desensitize us to stuff we might see. I saw homicide victims and car crash victims and never really thought anymore about it after I was finished with the incident.

It is trolling when you continue to lie.
