We present the case of a 91-year-old woman lived alone at her home with two domestic dogs, that is,, a Labrador Retriever and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and found dead. The investigation of the scene revealed that the Bull Terrier's jawbone and chest were covered with blood. The autopsy revealed multiple, histologically confirmed, life-threatening skin and bone lacerations without scavenging marks. The punctures and tearing of each of the wounds on the skin were compatible with bites. A left humeral fracture and multiple fractures of the right facial bones were observed. The death was attributed to external hemorrhages due to several dog bites. A veterinary physical and behavioral examination indicated that the Bull Terrier was involved in the attack. A domestic predation hypothesis was deemed here most likely due to the presence of food supplies at the scene, the dog's previous history of attack, and the breed of the dog.
我们报告一例91岁独自居住在家且养有两只家养犬（一只拉布拉多寻回犬和一只斯塔福郡斗牛梗）的女性死亡案例。现场调查发现，斗牛梗的下颚骨和胸部沾满鲜血。尸检显示存在多处经组织学证实的危及生命的皮肤和骨骼撕裂伤，且无被动物啃食的痕迹。皮肤上每个伤口的穿刺和撕裂情况都与咬伤相符。观察到左侧肱骨骨折和右侧面部多处骨折。死亡原因是多处被犬咬伤导致的外部出血。兽医进行的身体和行为检查表明，此次攻击是由斗牛梗所为。鉴于现场有食物供应、该犬以往的攻击史以及犬的品种，这里认为家庭内部捕食假说最有可能成立。
