[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] A woman in her 50s was fatally bitten by her pet dog in Chicago, USA.


According to the American media outlet 'WGN News' on the 13th (local time), Lisa Eo-so (52) was found dead around 4 p.m. on the 9th at her home in Ingleside, a northwestern suburb of Chicago, Illinois.


The police suspect that Eo-so died from dog bites. At the time of discovery, she reportedly had numerous dog teeth marks and scratch wounds on her arms, legs, and torso.


The attending medical examiner told WGN News in an interview, "Most of the wounds were on the arms and body, and the condition was horrific," adding, "Unfortunately, it was a truly brutal attack."


He further explained, "People tend to think that raising small dog breeds won't lead to fatal accidents, but animals can be stronger than we imagine," and "French Bulldogs have strong jaws and can bite very hard."


Eo-so was known to have two pet dogs and had recently adopted an additional French Bulldog that had been raised as a fighting dog. This dog had previously attacked Eo-so's fianc? and was sent to a dog training center before returning home.


The dog involved in the incident and the other two pet dogs were handed over to an animal shelter.
