TEXAS -- A Cooke County woman was attacked and killed by one of her dogs Friday afternoon.
The Cooke County Sheriff's Office received a call around 4 p.m. about a woman found dead at the La Cantera Ranch Resort in Valley View. Sheriff Mike Compton says 71-year-old Donna Conrad was found with deep bites on her head and throat.
Two dogs were found at the scene - a small dog and Conrad's Doberman pincher. He says they found the Doberman with blood on its coat and the owner's hair on its teeth. It was quarantined at a local veterinary clinic.
Sheriff Compton says the dog was put down Monday and tested negative for rabies.
[Another article says: Cooke County Sheriff Mike Compton said he believes the Doberman pincher was imported from Hungary and had been trained to protect humans.
The woman’s injuries include deep head and throat lacerations, he said, adding, “It was a brutal attack.”]
