Montgomery County Sheriff Chris Watkins released this statement Friday, August 10.

On Thursday, August 9, 2018, a resident of a Lake Tillery development on the western side of Montgomery County went missing while taking her daily walk. After several hours the 66 year old female did not return home. Her husband called neighbors and friends who searched the area. They were unable to locate her and call 911.

Sheriff’s deputies and search and rescue were sent to the scene. Within hours she was discovered deceased on the side of an unused road within the development. An investigation was conducted with the assistance of the Medical Examiner’s Office, NC Wildlife Resources Commission and Animal Control.

The investigation revealed she had been attacked by dogs. Law enforcement searched the neighborhood and located two pit bull dogs with physical evidence reflecting the dog’s involvement. The animals were taken into custody by Animal Control and are being quarantined. The owner of the dogs is cooperating with officials and the matter is still under investigation and review by the District Attorney’s Office.

The name of the victim is being withheld until family members can be notified. The victim is being sent to the NC Medical Examiner’s Office in Raleigh for an autopsy. “This is a very tragic event, which has deeply affected the family, friends, deputies and first responders, our thoughts and prayers are being extended to all.”

Apparently Chihuahuas can be mean and like to “pack”

I had a similar experience with a dog that was dropped off near my house. My two labs started running with the stray. They chased a neighbors cows one night, next morning he was beating on my door. My labs had never chased cows before. He told me he would shoot to kill them if they came back. I said to go ahead can’t feed the cows to be chased. He left and a 30-06 fixed the new pack leader. My labs never chase cows after that.

The breed doesn’t matter. They are all dogs. It’s culture, not biology!

Not true. There are countless reports of pit bull maulings, where the dogs were raised by normal, everyday, decent folks.

In many of those incidents, the pit bull mauled or killed its owner or a family member.

It isn't culture. It's genetics.

No 6 year old child should be allowed to walk ANY dog or be left alone with one-not even a Chihuahua-they are too young to control an animal or make judgement calls if a bad situation develops-we had a German Shepherd when my own cub was a little one-we got the dog as a puppy, so she was totally bonded with the cub-but only hubby or I walked that dog-the cub was allowed to walk the dog when she turned 11-but not before.

The bulldog breed does 90% of the killing.

That makes owners liable.

NO,NO,NO! It's the owners that are responsible for the dogs, their breeding, training(or lack of) and their being kept secure in an enclosed yard.

Your viewpoint is as poor as those who blame guns for killing.

As much as people like you love to blame the breed or sub breeds it's vile human beings that have turned them into what some of them have become.

Blamed the scum not the dog, though it's innocent humans who suffer and the dog that has to pay, as far as I'm concerned the scum that do this to a dog, if the dog must be euthanized for an attack the owner should be too!

I used to see that as well. When dogs pack up they are dangerous regardless of breed. Of course some breeds are inherently more aggressive than others. But I’d see the local usually friendly dogs pack up when let loose. They would get more aggressive. Fortunately no one got attacked.

It’s bad when a coyote and a domestic dog breed....the offspring form a pack and run together to hunt. And they have no fear of humans...in fact they know humans will “feed” them by having farm animals and pets for them to eat. And they will attack the humans as well. There was a pack (about 12-15 animals) that ran near my farm years ago. You would hear them just after sunset coming through the fields or woods, howling and yipping. If I was there feeding the animals when they came, I would go in the barn and close the doors until they left. Often, they would go in my neighbors pastures after the cattle...but the neighbors kept donkeys in the pastures to protect the cattle...donkeys will chase and stomp coyotes and coy-dogs to death. Interesting series of sounds in the night: Coyotes and coy-dogs howling; cows mooing restlessly; donkeys braying as they stomp; coyotes and coy-dogs screaming as they get hoofed to death; then, total silence.

If people can be vile, any animal can be vile.

Just like there are people with bad temperments or foul personalities, any animal, INCLUDING dogs, can be a bad egg.

And the viewpoint is not as bad as people who blame guns for killing.

Guns are inanimate objects incapable of self-motivated behavior. They are controlled by the person holding it.

Dogs are independent creatures with a will of their own which cannot always be controlled. They can act on their own and often do. It is not always the owners fault.

So you going to blame the owner for her own dogs killing and eating her?

The dogs weren't bad dogs, eh? It was all her fault for not being a good enough owner.

BS.

I have noticed more and more people keeping donkeys around here. I guess that is why.
