A 36-year-old Lame Deer woman was attacked by nearly a dozen dogs early this week on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, leaving her with severe injuries that required her to be airlifted to Billings for treatment.

A neighbor, Lance Littlebird, witnessed the attack of Teela Atwood and stepped to the rescue after she had been dragged into a ditch by the pack of dogs.

Littlebird said the dogs were tearing Atwood apart when he intervened.

“I just reached down and I started swinging as well as I could. 'Cause there were just, like, so many dogs there. There were so many of them,” Littlebird said.
