Man wakes up to find pet dog has eaten his toes
Published: 2013 October 15 06:47:08 (4471 Views)
A dog owner whose foot was rotting away through infection woke up to find his pet had eaten it.
Micke Thomasson failed to notice Laddie was chewing away as he was on painkillers.
'A friend of mine who was staying over came into my bedroom in the morning with a cup of tea. He yelled "The dog has eaten up your toes!",' he told the Sundsvall Tidning newspaper.
The dog would have eaten more had it not fallen asleep because of the morphine in its owner's bloodstream, vets said.
'He worked hard during the night – when he woke up he was completely exhausted,' Mr Thomasson added.
Mr Thomasson, of Sundsvall, Sweden, refused to have his foot amputated after being injured in a car accident almost three decades ago.
He rejected medical advice to have his foot amputated due to ulcers and sores because it 'didn't feel right'.
The Swede does not blame his beloved pet, however, who he described as the 'reason I want to live'.
'Without him, I would have closed up the business long ago,' Mr Thomasson added.
'The leg was in poor shape and needed to go; now I feel better.'
