Ashlynn Anderson was found on the lawn outside Browning's home Sunday, the report said. Paramedics were called to the scene and she was airlifted to a Portland hospital where she was pronounced dead.

"Apparently, the dog just snapped," Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin told E! News. "We have detectives working on investigating (what set the dog off) ... We are going to give the family a day or two to grieve before we interview them."

The dog was taken, along with a second Rottweiler, from the family's home to a shelter, E! said.

"Ax Men" is a reality series that chronicles the adventures of several teams of lumberjacks in Oregon and Montana. It airs on the History channel.

'Bachelor' star Jake chooses Vienna

LOS ANGELES, March 2 (UPI) -- Jake Pavelka chose Vienna Girardi over Tenley Molzahn on "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love," the U.S. dating show's season finale Monday night.

The two women were finalists on the romance-themed reality series. Pavelka admitted he felt "extremely confused emotionally" shortly before he was to choose between the two women.

He said as late as the morning of the day he was to tell one of the women he wanted to marry her: "I'm not ready to make a decision; I know for a fact now that you can be in love with more than one person because I am. I'm so excited about these final two women. One's not better than the other. They're just very different."

Ultimately, however, he told Molzahn "something just doesn't feel right."

Molzahn tearfully confessed to the TV cameras afterward, "My heart feels broken right now."

As he awaited Girardi's arrival moments before the finale ended, Pavelka said: "I can't believe it's ending like this, but I know what's in my heart and I know what I'm doing is right."

"I think you're an amazing woman," he told Girardi. "Vienna, I love you with everything that I am. ... Vienna, will you marry me?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" was her reply. "I am so happy right now."
