Lafayette woman claims two pit bulls mauled her dog to death

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- A Lafayette woman said she has lost her beloved pet in the worst way imaginable.

Connie Cordova said her two-year-old dog Mercedes was mauled to death by two of her neighbor's dogs, both pit bulls, as she watched, helpless.

Cordova says she let Mercedes outside around 6 p.m. on Saturday. Cordova says she was in her bathroom getting ready to go to a restaurant with family, when suddenly she heard screams and whimpers that sounded like her dog.
