In a tragic incident from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, a pet dog took away the life of its owner, leaving locals and animal lovers shocked. On Sunday, an 80-year-old woman was mauled to death by her own German Shepherd in the Vikas Nagar area of the city. The elderly woman, identified as Mohini Devi, had raised the dog as if it were her own child. However, the dog suddenly became aggressive and attacked her, leaving her in a pool of blood.
Devi stayed with her daughter-in-law Kiran and grandson Dheer Prashant Trivedi. When the shocking incident took place, Kiran and Trivedi were sleeping inside the house. The elderly woman had stepped out of the residence after hearing the dog barking out loudly. Worried about its behaviour, she rushed to check if the dog was fine. However, her concern left her in a painful state as the dog pounced at her.
