Premium Content UPDATE: The aunt of a Maryborough woman, killed in a shock dog attack, has revealed the fatal mauling was a cruel final chapter in a life marred by tragedy. Amanda Carmichael died after being set upon by three dogs, which have since been destroyed, at a home on Milton St on Tuesday morning. Lowood resident Kay Paul remembered Amanda as a “funny little bugger” who had many friends despite the challenges thrown her way. “She was always laughing and cracking jokes, she was lovely like that,” she said. Kay said that over the years Amanda had often been homeless, couch surfing between homes.
