Mom-of-three in critical condition after woman's dog mauled her and left her to die in a ditch
The Daily Mail ^ | 03/26/2026 | Jack Toledo

A mother of three was found critically injured in a ditch after she was viciously mauled by a woman's dogs.

LaKesha Newsom, 35, was airlifted to the Regional One Hospital in Memphis on March 3 after she was found partially-clothed in the shallow ditch, according to the Holly Springs Police Department.

Officials said that Newsom was conscious and was able to inform them that she had been attacked by dogs.

Harris, 54, has been charged with aggravated assault and manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life and was being held at the Marshall County Sheriff's Department.

In an unfortunate update, DeWaylia Young, Newsom's sister, explained that her loved ones 'condition has taken a devastating turn.'

‘She has had her right arm and right leg amputated. She is currently heavily sedated and on the ventilator,' added DeWaylia.

'Bacteria and infection from the attack are spreading rapidly throughout her body.'

Her sister noted that they were told Newsom may not have much time left.

'In the middle of this unimaginable situation are her three children, who are now facing the possibility of losing their mother,' said DeWaylia.***

The mother flatlined on her way to the hospital and was resuscitated, according to Fox 10 News.

Rosie Young, Newsom's mother, said while at the hospital her daughter explained what happened during the horrifying attack.

'She felt the dogs gnawing on her, eating on her,’ Rosie told Fox. 'The only thing in her head was, "I want to live."'

'And I told her, “For you to be here today, you have life in you."'

Nearly three weeks after the attack, officials arrested Sandra Harris on March 23 in connection with the dog mauling.

A couple of observations:

1) “Sandra” is sporting a mustache

2) Some breeds have a propensity for violence, exhibiting an inability to control themselves, are devoid of both the mental and emotional capacity to exist around others, all the while lashing out and destroying everything around them.
Now, onto a discussion about pit bulls…

I made the spontaneous and stupid decision to try to break up a dog fight three years ago. “Dogs mouths are cleaner than a human’s” my ass. Infection set into the bites very quickly

She has already had both her right arm and right leg removed.
Time to check if she has a DNR in her records.

To break up a dog fight you need a baseball bat.

Or a cattle prod.

Sometimes a water hose will work.

“...manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life...”

I’m surprised no one picked up on that one. As I see it, every liberal in the state should be arrested.

Da*n. That is a tragic story. Severe penalty if attack was instigated by Harris. Death penalty if Newsom dies. Really sick.

Sandra does not appear to be a Southern belle on her way to cotillion. In fact
I don't think Sandra is a "belle" at all by the conventional units of measure.

That's a man named Sandra Harris.

Failed at being a tranny.

I was told by a doctor who treated me for a cat bite that next time to get bit by a dog.
The doctor said in relative terms a cat's mouth harbors way way more bacteria than
a dog's. A cat's mouth harbors over 300 different pathogens.

Who told you that bullshit?

Dog lovers will watch their dog eat a pile of shit, then let them [the dog] lick them on the mouth.

That woman had to have her arm and leg amputated. It looks like she might not make it. Definitely a pit bull.
