When a 38-year-old Pennsylvania woman went to feed her neighbor’s two Great Danes while the owner was away, she was mauled to death in front of her young son.
According to Perry County Coroner Robert Ressler, the incident took place on Thursday, March 16, when two big dogs charged Kristen Potter inside the neighbor’s house.
Potter was killed by the dogs while she was with her young son.
When he saw the dogs charging at his mother, he hurried outside to get assistance.
“He was present at the scene, but I don’t think he was there for much of it,” Ressler said, according to WGAL. “As soon as he saw the dogs starting to attack his mother, he ran across the road to have his brother call 911.”

The authorities said that the first responders and police officers couldn’t reach the 38-year-old victim until animal control officers showed up and tranquilized the dogs.
The two dogs involved in Potter’s attack were later euthanized at a veterinarian’s office.
Brandon Zeiders, whose fiancee is Potter’s sister, said he was told by state police the two Great Danes might have been fighting and then turned their ire toward Potter when she intervened, according to Penn Live.
The dogs’ owner told the outlet she was “heartbroken” by the incident.
“I’m heartbroken, I’m in shock, I’m in disbelief and I just want to die,” Wendy Sabathne said. “I can’t believe this happened.”
