A good reason to keep your dog hungry

Dog Bites Man . . . but in a good way.

“He kind of chewed off the infected part and stopped at the good bone,” said Rosee.

:eek:

Good boy! Who’s a good boy? Yes sir!

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.

I’m glad the man survived. Doggone shame about his toe though.

:hurk:

WTF.

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.

Isn’t loss of sensation a side effect of Diabetes?

Man’s best friend to the rescue.

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?”

Luckily his dog was a Jack Russell Toeater.

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.

Or maybe a Shar-Peid? A Toeberman Pinscher?

Hey I was just playing along. Everyone knows dogs don’t have superpowers. Well, except for maybe that Krypto.

I’m guessing it was a LABRATOE RETRIEVER

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.

Damn! At least, the dog should wait until you’re actually dead to start eating your remains. I mean, that’s just courtesy among family members.

Merged duplicate threads.

The guy said he himself could smell it! It’s lucky he didn’t gnaw his own toe off.

Hope the dog didn’t get toe-main.
