Lucknow: 80-Year-Old Woman Mauled by her Pet Dog

Pets are generally treated as caring, harmless, and a member of our family but sometimes lack of training and unusual behavior makes them dangerous. A recent case might shock you about a pet dog hurting a woman. On July 12, an 82-year-old teacher was mauled to death by her pet dog in the Qaiserbagh area in Lucknow.

The Nagar Nigam team took away the pit bull breed pet dog two days after the incident. In a video on social media the owner of the pet dot, gym owner, Amit Tripathi has seen dropping the dog in the animal control van.

A brown short-haired dog with a cloth over his head can be seen carried by Amit in the Video. Sushila Tripathi the woman who was mauled by the pet dog was her mother of Amit.

The incident happened when Sushila Tripathi was walking her two pet dogs, a pitbull and a Labrador on the roof. The pit bull named brownie was living with the family for 3 years. 

The neighbors heard the dog barking and Sushila screaming for help when the incident happened. After hearing her cries the neighbor came for help but the door was locked from the inside.
