Woman mauled by four dogs in Manitoba community: RCMP

A woman is recovering after RCMP said she was mauled by a group of dogs over the weekend.

A 22-year-old woman was hospitalized after she was mauled by four dogs in a Manitoba community one week ago, according to RCMP.

The incident took place on Feb. 14 while the woman was walking along Highway 278 in Ebb and Flow First Nation.

RCMP said four dogs, described as being of a large breed, approached and attacked her. Two people witnessed the attack as it happened and helped the woman escape and call for help.

Mounties said the woman was taken to hospital in Dauphin for surgery and sustained “significant” injuries from the attack.

First Nation Safety Officers and RCMP are working to identify the dogs responsible for the attack and the investigation continues.
