It was interesting that the headline wasn't PIT BULL, and the breed of the 
dog wasn't untill the 4th paragraph!

NBC 5 has learned that a woman in Scurry, Texas, died because of a dog 
attack. The attack occurred about 6 p.m. Thursday in the in Kaufman County 
town. 
According to witnesses, David Mayfield heard two women screaming from the home 
next door.
He found the family's pet dog attacking the women even though the animal was 
chained to a porch.

Mayfield, Dorothy Mayfield and another women were injured by the attack and 
transported to Parkland Hospital In Dallas.

Dorothy Mayfield died from wounds she suffered during the attack. David 
Mayfield was treated and later released. The other woman remains in the 
hospital.

According to family members, the dog -- a Great Dane named Brutus -- was 
previously well behaved. They said the dog snapped for an unknown reason.

Holly Henderson, the daughter of the hospitalized victim, called the attack 
an accident.

"It's a freak thing. It's bizarre," she said. "This doesn't happen every day. 
Not everybody's dog does this. This doesn't normally happen. I mean, it's 
just a very weird situation. It's almost like a nightmare."

Brutus was euthanized, and his remains will be tested for rabies by state 
veterinary examiners.
