29-year-old Linda Cutler from Brevard County, Florida , has been charged with manslaughter after her unleashed dogs fatally attacked 50-year-old Jodi Cowan. As the owner of the dogs, Cutler, is now facing a charge of manslaughter after a police investigation.
According to News 6 of Click Orlando, Sheriff Wayne Ivey explained that Cowan was attempting to protect her own dog while fleeing from two larger dogs that had targeted her. During the struggle, Cowan was eventually overwhelmed and pulled to the ground. Her spouse ultimately heard the commotion and intervened by swinging a knife at the dogs, but unfortunately, the damage was already done. Cowan passed away a few hours later while at the hospital
