Pamela Rock, 61, died from injuries sustained in the attack on Aug. 21. Putnam County Sheriff's deputies found Rock on the ground when they responded to the attack in Interlachen Estates. Locals said they heard Rock's screams and they tried to pull the mob of dogs off her.

Rock, who is from Melrose, Florida, was killed when her truck broke down and the hounds escaped from their owner's home. People living in the area remembered Rock as a mail woman who would bring candy to children when delivering the mail.

According to authorities, the dogs escaped when they moved rocks at the bottom of a fence that had held them in. There had been four calls about aggressive animals in the area in the past three years. A neighbor said the dogs "jumped the fence all the time" and had previously killed a chihuahua.
