Police are hunting for a pack of dangerous dogs after a woman was brutally mauled to death.Anita Mears, 61, was attacked and killed by the dogs in rural Newalla, Oklahoma, US on Sunday (April 24).

Her body had been savaged so badly that when deputies first launched an investigation into the tragic death they thought they were looking into a stabbing.Police only realised the wounds were dog bites after the body had been sent to the coroner's office.

Mears' own dog was found guarding her dead body, possibly after trying to fend off the other animals. Sheriff Tommie Johnson III said: "Our heart goes out to her family.

Life is precious, and it’s sad when we lose one, especially in this fashion."Ms. Mears’ dog was also injured in the attack. We believe that the dog was trying to protect her."You talk about how in any rural part of the community, dogs, they get let loose out there, and then they group up and they just run like pack animals."So, it is very common to see a pack of dogs running around." At this point in their investigations, deputies have no idea why the dogs attacked Mears or where they might be now.
