About this episode

A tragic death has rocked the animal rescue community in northern Manitoba, where volunteer Amanda Nobiss, 37, was found dead while working to combat dog overpopulation in Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation. Discovered by a maintenance worker, her body was surrounded by dogs—some reportedly aggressive—leading to speculation she was attacked. Authorities say the death is not yet considered suspicious, but an autopsy is pending.
