A kind pensioner was eaten "to the bone" by a pack of stray dogs - after taking the animals into her home to live with her.
Cops found the remains of Tatyana Konstantinovna, 62, alongside the corpses of her 11 dogs - who had starved to death after feasting on their new owner.

Detectives investigating the deaths say today that they are uncertain whether she suddenly died or was killed after an attack by one of the dogs.

A spokesman said: "The animals had no food, and proceeded to eat her.

"They gnawed all the meat off her body, literally to the bone.

"Then the dogs died as well from starvation."

Neighbours ignored the howls from the desperate dogs as they tried to escape from the flat because loud barking was normal from her army of strays.

It was only when the property went quiet that they realised something might be wrong.

Svetlana Kovaleva, who lived in the same block in Kemerovo, Russia, paid tribute to the tragic dog lover.

She said: "The dogs were her family, she had no real friends."

Neighbour Nina Shpizina added: "She had one or two dogs but recently started taking in hungry strays.

"It is so sad. She was all alone except for her dogs and then died such a terrible death."

What a sad but interesting story, Kel.

Sad all round Kel really.

I believe she died first, and the animals ate her remains. Domestic dogs attacking and killing a human for food, even starving canines, is extremely rare, and that usually involves a sick or frail person, which, of course, might be the case here..
