Pennsylvania woman killed by neighbor's Great Danes

I thought Great Danes were sweethearts.

Woman dies after attack by neighbor’s dogs she went to feed
State police said 38-year-old Kristin Potter died after she was attacked Thursday evening by the two Great Danes.


NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa. — A Pennsylvania woman died after she was attacked by a neighbor’s dogs she had gone over to feed while their owner was away, authorities said.

State police said 38-year-old Kristin Potter died after she was attacked Thursday evening by the two Great Danes in Centre Township southwest of New Bloomfield.

Perry County Coroner Robert Ressler said the victim had gone to the home with her young son, who ran for help when two of the three dogs present attacked.

"He was present at the scene, but I don't think he was there for much of it," Ressler said, according to WGAL-TV. "As soon as he saw the dogs starting to attack his mother, he ran across the road to have his brother call 911."

Ressler said emergency responders and police officers were unable to reach the victim until animal control personnel arrived and tranquilized the dogs.

Brandon Zeiders, who is engaged to Potter's sister, told Penn Live that police told him the dogs may have been fighting each other and turned on the woman as she tried to intervene.

in our family, at separate times, and they were big babies. Both neutered males. Can't speak to how they'd be in a semi pack. Don't think I'd get near two fighting large dogs, but who knows. When you know the dogs you tend to forget the instinct side.
