On Monday, a 65-year-old woman in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, was going out to get her mail when a pack of three loose dogs spotted her and closed in.
Mabel Lackey yelled at them, but in the commotion she fell and the dogs started to tear her apart.
“They her checking the mail. They just came running at her,” her son, Michael Lackey, later told KOTV-DT. “She tried to run, telling them to stop, to go away. She fell down.”
“Once the two large ones started biting her the little one got around and just started pulling her hair.”
Meanwhile, neighbor Anna Marshall heard screaming from her property about an acre away. She alerted her firefighter husband, Chad, who was currently at home and off duty, and the two raced over to help.

The two courageously put themselves between the attacking dogs and Lackey. The dogs began to attack them instead.
“He said this Dog was so strong it was even throwing him around, and he is a huge man,” Michael said of Chad.
