They arrived to find a large black dog standing guard over her body after 7 pm local time on Wednesday, according to a Loudon County Sheriff’s Office statement. "Deputies were unable to approach the victim due to the potential attack from the dog and an LCSO deputy was forced to shoot and kill the animal," the statement said. "The dog was a Dutch Shepard and was reportedly a very highly trained personal protection dog that was owned by the victim and her husband, who is a long-time and very accomplished K9 trainer," the statement said.
