THORNDALE - A pack of six dogs mauled a 76-year-old woman to death as she worked in her front yard, authorities said.
Lillian Loraine Stiles was riding on a lawn mower in her front yard Saturday when she was confronted by the dogs, described as a pit bull-Rottweiler mix, said Milam County Sheriff Charlie West.
Investigators think Stiles had gotten off the lawn mower and was heading back into her house when she was attacked.
Stiles, who had severe bites over her entire body, was pronounced dead at her home. A man who tried to help Stiles was bitten on his leg.
The six dogs were found at the home of Stiles' neighbor, Jose Hernandez. Five of the dogs were seized by the Sheriff's Department and taken to a veterinary clinic in nearby Cameron.
An autopsy on Stiles will be performed by the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office.
Thorndale is about 70 miles west of College Station.
I say we round up all these types of dogs, and send them to Iraq. Let them maul the insurgents.
LMAO!
