Manitoba girl mauled to death on way home

A northern Manitoba girl died after being mauled by dogs. Thompson RCMP were called to Lac Brochet on Tuesday around 6:00 p.m.

Two large dogs of an unknown breed mauled the girl. The 10-year-old was rushed to the local nursing station, where she died.

This is the second such death this winter.

Seven-year-old Gracie Herntier-Clark was pronounced dead at Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg after being attacked by two Alaskan malamutes named Bear and Shadow Mar. 16.

Gracie had been visiting family friends and was playing outside near Oakbank when the dogs attacked her. RCMP say she did have adult supervision, but may have been left alone with the animals for just a minute or two. No charges were laid in that death.
