Donna Nguyen, 62 years old, was walking to the bank when it happened Aug. 1.
Her fiancé, Rodney Bunn, described the extent of her injuries, saying she fought for her life but suffered severe damage to her arms, legs and feet.
“I loved her with all my heart,” Bunn told Channel 2’s Tom Regan.
Nguyen spent two weeks in the intensive care unit at the hospital, unconscious and on a ventilator.
Doctors informed the family that the numerous dog bites had caused a rampant infection, and there was a possibility she could lose her arms.
Her condition worsened, leading the family to make the difficult decision to remove life support.
Four of the five dogs involved were euthanized. Bunn believes the owner of the dogs should be held responsible for the attack.
“I do believe he should be charged,” he said. “There has to be accountability for what those dogs done.”
Fulton County Animal Control is currently investigating the fatal dog attack. Attempts to obtain an update on the investigation have been unsuccessful.
Nguyen’s funeral is scheduled for Wednesday. The family has a GoFundMe to help with expenses.
