BINH DUONG (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): An 82-year-old woman has died after she was attacked by her daughter’s Pitbull dog on Tuesday (May 16) at the family home in the southern province of BInh Duong.

The woman lived with her daughter’s family in Binh Thang Ward of Di An City.

The dog was kept in a cage at the house with another dog, a Leonberger.

The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the daughter took the dog out of the cage to feed it as her mother sat in the living room, approximately 15m away.

Being hard of hearing, the woman spoke loudly to her daughter but the noise startled the animal and it rushed towards her.

The daughter tried in vain to separate the pet, but after an attack lasting around two minutes, the elderly woman died.

Police are investigating the incident. — VNS
