The 52-year-old was working at the Telfer mine site in Western Australia on Wednesday when a dingo came up and took her mobile phone.

She managed to stay on her feet, screaming for help while trying to fight off the dogs, 7News reported.
A security worker has received bites all over her body after being mauled by a pack of dingoes

Photos show horrific bites to her arms and legs, and it has been reported that her entire body was covering in deep puncture marks, besides her neck and head.
Her family has said she is lucky that she didn’t collapse, as the dogs may have gone for her throat had she fallen.
One of the bite marks on her leg is so deep there are serious concerns that it may have to be amputated.
The woman has already been operated on twice since arriving at the Royal Perth Hospital after the attack, but she will now need plastic surgery.
Her condition is currently serious but stable.
Trials have been done in the Telfer township using dogs to try to warn off dingoes and prevent confrontations with people.
