Okay, something grosser than the degloved cat’s tail in the other thread. Way to put a positive spin on his dog eating him when he’s passed out in a drunken stupor. Good thing he didn’t have an eye infection.
Ick. Reminds me of maggot therapy (I’ll let you google it). I don’t know how that guy has time to take care of a Jack Russell.
Lightweight. 7 beers plus 2 margaritas will hit me pretty hard, but I think I’d feel a dog chewing off my damn toe. At worst I’d decide that the dog was stealing my booze.
I’m not sure I would be so quick to ascribe such astute diagnostic abilities and lofty motives to the pooch; it seems more likely to me that it was simply a case of “Hey, you’re not going to let that go to waste, are you?”
I know dogs are supposed to have super powers and all, but this mutt was merely gnawing at something attractive to his senses. If you read the story and hear the interview with the people involved, it becomes clear how dopey they are not to have known something was terribly wrong with that foot and the man’s health. And the wife is a nurse no less. Shame on her and no blame to the dog either.
Well, considering dogs can smell cancers in people I wouldn’t say an infection is hard to detect for a dog. As for motive though? Yeah, Fido was probably just hungry. Though a dog would do that to itself if it had a bad infection.
