A woman in Bolivar, West Tennessee, was fatally mauled by two dogs early Monday morning. The victim, Theresa Rhodes, was found in critical condition with extensive injuries from the attack. One of the dogs was shot by a police officer in order to administer treatment to Rhodes. Both dogs were later captured and euthanized. The owner of the dogs is unknown, and Rhodes was not the owner. The case is still under investigation, and details about the victim’s age and the cause of the attack have not been released. The Bolivar Police Department described one of the dogs as grey and blue with pit bull features, while the other was brown with a box face and floppy ears. This tragic incident is another example of the dangers posed by aggressive dogs, resulting in the loss of a human life. The community is mourning the loss of Rhodes, and authorities are working to determine what led to the fatal mauling.
