According to Andong Police Station in North Gyeongsang Province, Sunday, the woman was found dead in her house Friday at around 9:15 p.m. with serious injuries to her neck.
Police said they also found a bloodstained Pungsan dog and a tooth near the house.
Officers said they concluded the 18-kilogram dog attacked the owner. They said they plan to send the dog to a shelter, where it will be euthanized.
The woman was found after an employee at a seniors welfare center called the police after failing to reach her by phone several times.
This is not the first such incident. In May, a 66-year-old woman in Wonju, Gangwon Province, also died after being attacked by her dog.
After a series of reports about dog attacks ― against strangers and owners, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said it is trying to come up with measures to prevent such incidents.
For now, only six kinds of dogs, including pit bull terriers and Rottweiler's, are required to be put on a leash and muzzled while being taken outside. Owners who violate this ordinance face a fine of up to 100,000 won ($87).
The Ministry is considering adding more kinds to the list and increasing the fine. It also plans to require owners of the listed dogs to receive education from local governments.
