Dog Pack, Wyoming - A strange but true case involves a 40-year-old woman, Deanne Lynn Coando, who was killed after a pack of dogs attacked her on a reservation in central Wyoming.
The unfortunate situation happened last Wed. Coando was a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, the officials said on Monday and ABC News reported.
Apparently, Coando was walking through Fort Washakie, which is located in the two-million-acre Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming.
As she was going on her way, the pack of dogs "pounced" on her, according to the Daily Mail. After some fellow tribe members heard her screaming, they found her and rushed to the Riverton Hospital.
She already had serious injuries, a severe loss of blood and on top of that, hypothermia as well. The medics made their best effort, but she died shortly.
The Eastern Shoshone Tribe is formed by 2,000 people and an attack of a dog pack is largely unheard of. Actually, according to Kimberly Varilek, the attorney general of the tribe, a case like this one never happened before.
She did say that they have a lot of dogs in the area running around, and cats too. But it wasn't a problem ever.
"It's not really been an issue; we've not had a series of dog attacks or anything like that against people. There may be some skepticism because it's so unheard of."
The animals tend to be hungry and cold, it's a common sight, Sergio Maldonado, a Sr. member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, shared. But even if that is true, he also stated that he'd never seen dogs threatening people in any way.
Thus, finding a pack of dogs that actually mauled a woman over is extremely rare. Still, the investigation by the authorities' proceeds and vets offered free spaying and neutering services over the weekend in Wyoming.
