A Pennsylvania mother was bitten to death by her neighbors’ dogs when she tried to feed them, authorities reported to news outlets.
The 38-year-old woman from Center Township went to her neighbor’s home on Thursday, March 16, to care for their three Great Danes while they were away, TV station WGAL reported.
It was a favor she had previously done for her neighbor, authorities told the outlet.
The woman’s young son went to the house with her and when the dogs attacked, he ran to get help, the Associated Press reported.
Police arrived at the scene but were unable to reach the woman until animal control officers calmed the dogs down, the outlet reported.
Two of the Great Danes were euthanized, but a third, who did not attack the woman, was left at home, WHTM reported.
Pennsylvania State Police are investigating, according to the station.
Center Township is located approximately 70 miles northwest of downtown Philadelphia.
