A dog mauled its owner to death at her home in Boston, Massachusetts, on Monday before attacking police, NBC10 Boston reported.

Police identified the woman as 73-year-old Jeriline Brady-McGinnis.

Her husband was also badly injured during the attack, but is expected to survive.

Civil rights leader Jean McGuire, the couple’s landlord, lives above their apartment.

“She’s a wonderful person,” McGuire said about Brady-McGinnis. “She was generous and kind, always thinking of other people … We all miss Jeri. You don’t want anything horrible to happen to anybody, anywhere. She was a wonderful mother and a fine person, very respected.”

When police responded to the call that afternoon, they arrived to find the owners badly mauled.

While providing aid, the dog — a pit bull mix named “Deuce” — bit both officers, forcing them to shoot it, The Boston Globe reported.

Friend had an Akita. Wasn’t happy with me until friend told it I was OK.

Subsequent visits - “Hiya Charley how ya doin’?” He would come over and stand up and put his paws on my shoulder while I scratched and rubbed behind his ears. He could look me straight in the eye. I’m six foot.

He’d go back and lay down. He kept an eye on everything. Very Mellow Dog.

When my Mom was a girl she had a black malamute named “Inky”.
Sadly, he got hit by a streetcar in Philadelphia many years before I was born.
From the stories I heard of Inky, he sounded like he was a pretty cool dog.

Having the dogs understand necessary protection is a necessary thing.

It was like a fairytale romance. He and she met at a dog park. They both had the same type of dog and the dogs really enjoyed playing with each other. Soon he and she were in love with one another and one night found themselves together in the other’s apartment. One thing led to another and in the middle of some loud he’in and she’in, the dogs took the commotion as one was attacking the other and needed to be saved. It ended up with the dogs fighting each other and both people.

Injuries were sufficient that we transported one patient who spilled the story.
