LAGRANGE — Family members say a 41-year-old woman remains in good spirits despite losing her right arm after being mauled by a dog while taking a walk.
Karen Stewart of Prentiss Township was attacked by a bulldog mix earlier this month while visiting a friend in LaGrange. The dog has been euthanized, and its owner has been charged with keeping a dangerous animal.
Tammy Carlow, a stepsister of Stewart, told the Bangor Daily News that Stewart’s arm was amputated a few inches below the shoulder Wednesday night at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
Carlow said Stewart is worried about what people will think of her when she returns home with one arm, but is keeping her spirits up.
