Arkansas teen girl mauled to death while trying to feed neglected pack of 30 to 40 dogs: ‘Kindest soul’

A kind-hearted Arkansas teenage girl was mauled to death in a “horrific” dog attack as she attempted to feed multiple malnourished pups left in neglect by their owners.

Makayla Fortner, 15, was killed on the property of the home in Alexander — about 17 miles outside Little Rock — as she was trying to care for around 30 to 40 starving dogs on Wednesday, according to KATV.

Fortner and her mother, Stephanie Wilkie, had been trying to care for the dogs and wanted to rescue them after noticing the state of neglect in which their owners had them living.

Neighbor Ralph Murphy witnessed the first responding officer arrive and saw him discharge his sidearm multiple times to get the dogs away from the fence.

“I watched a Saline County deputy come out and go up to the fence, and a bunch of dogs ran up to the fence,” Murphy told the outlet.
