Dog attack victim 'struggling to control' animals days before being mauled to death

A young woman who was killed in a brutal dog attack was reportedly 'agitated and struggling to control' the animals just days before her awful death. The 28-year-old dog walker, whose identity has not yet been revealed, was mauled to death at a local beauty spot in Surrey on January 12 by a group of eight dogs she had been hired to look after.

A couple who regularly walk their own dog round the area believe they spotted the attacked dog walker a few days before the horrific incident, the Mirror reports. They said she looked like she could not control the animals she was walking and they bumped into her after she lost an eight-week-old puppy she was caring for.

She approached them to ask if she had seen the animal and they described her as being 'agitated' and 'distressed'. They also explained she had put the seven other canines she was walking back into the back of the car before frantically searching for the missing pup.
