A woman found dead on a trail in Northern California was killed in a domestic dog attack, and authorities say that a pack of 25 Great Danes were seen "running loose in the area" at the time.
An autopsy found numerous dog bites on Corbin, and a subsequent DNA test confirmed that she was the victim of a domestic dog attack. The sheriff's department said it believes Corbin was walking the trail when she was attacked. DNA analysis of Corbin's clothing is seeking to determine which dog, or dogs, bit her, and KCRA reports that none of the animals have yet been euthanized.
A neighbor on Blackhawk Trail told KCRA that the pack of Great Danes has been a problem for years. "They came across the road here at me," Max Hecker said. "So I jumped in the car and left." He said that he and other neighbors called Butte County Animal Control numerous times to complain about the dogs, including on the day before the deadly attack. "

That’s NOT a Great Dane!!
You hear about this kind of thing all the time. Owner lets Muffy out to roam, Muffy gets with 4-5 other Muffys and the next thing you know they revert to their natural instincts. I walk/bike on the local rails to trails every day weather permits. It runs through rural countryside. I always carry a handgun just in case I run into Muffy and his friends. Current weapon of choice is a Dan Wesson 1911 in .45 ACP with an 8 round mag and a spare. Fortunately have never had to use it.
Hitler, Stalin and Mao started out as cute little kids, too.
That's what I told Cujo, too. He didn't care.
