Ms Khusainova, 48, was on her way to work when her path took her in front of a shelter.
They were stray dogs that lived in a shelter near an industrial estate on their route.
She made a desperate call to emergency services moments before being overpowered and savagely murdered.
But the line was bad and the operator initially thought it was a sauna fire.
She told them ‘dogs are attacking me’ but the operator asked: ‘What is burning? Is the sauna burning?
Mrs Khusainova, who has a 15-year-old daughter, called for help while barking could be heard in the background: ‘The dogs attacked me, a lot… No, the dogs are attacking, help! Aid.’
He explained that he was close to an industrial base in Kazan, but then the line was cut.
The police were alerted, but it was too late to save her and her mutilated body was found hours later, at dusk.

“I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased woman.”

As Vladimir Putin funds his war against Ukraine, cuts to local services have led to a sharp rise in attacks by abandoned stray dogs roaming free in many towns and cities.
In May last year, it was announced that Russia was considering capturing stray dogs and using them to clear landmines.
Many towns and cities have problems with rejected pets and stray dogs hunting in packs.

Pro-Putin MP Fedot Tumusov, 67, demanded that the “large and aggressive” stray dogs be trained by specialists for war work.
Such a mine clearance role would put their lives in grave danger.
“In our country we have many dog experts who can teach stray dogs all kinds of skills,” the politician said.
He asked the government if “dog experts could train large, aggressive dogs and send them to the SMO (war) zone.”
SMO refers to the ‘special military operation’ that Russia uses for the invasion of Ukraine, where it fights for the ‘demilitarization and denazification’ of the country.
The deputy of the Fair Russia party said: “Let them help to remove the wounded and participate in the clearance of mines.”
Earlier this year, authorities ruled that the stray dog problem had become so serious that they had to be put down.
This followed a 12-year-old girl who suffered her injuries when she was attacked by a group of ’10 to 15′ strays.
More than 150 stray dogs were reportedly roaming around the town at the time of the attack.
