VIC:77yo woman attacked by German shepherds

A 77-year-old Melbourne woman's been attacked by two German Shepherd dogs in her home,
less than a week after a young girl was mauled to death by a dog.

The woman was knocked to the ground at her Ringwood home this morning, after discovering
the dogs had entered her backyard.

An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman says she suffered a bite to her ankle and thigh,
and some scratching.

The attack follows the death of four-year-old AYEN CHOL, who was attacked by a neighbour's
pit bull mastiff terrier last Wednesday.
