Dog Chews Off Sleeping Man's Toes
Yahoo! News ^ | 7/26/03 | Yahoo! News

An Arizona man's dog didn't live up to being man's best friend, NewsChannel5 reported.

While sleeping, Frank Monarrez's dog chewed off three of his toes. Because he is diabetic, he didn't feel a thing.

"The doctor even said she's been doing this for years and never seen a case like this in her life, never. This is the first time she's seen anything this bad," Monarrez said.

He is an amputee and his dog Baby D could have made him a double amputee, but he is handling the situation well. He said his entire foot could have been gnawed off.

"It's laughable after the fact, but it wouldn't be laughable if it's more serious and I had to end up having my foot amputated then I'd be a double amputee and that's one thing I didn't want," he said.

Baby D has been quarantined. The county will keep her for 10 days and then she is likely to be returned to Monarrez's son.

I've heard of finger food, but this is ridiculous.

Sure makes Dave Berry look prophetic, though.

Donut gets you a dollar its a Lab. They have a well-known propensity to eat anything.

My father has a chocolate Lab. Sweet, loving dog, but her dietary habits have earned her the nickname "Ol' S***-Breath."

This story makes my dog's habit of licking my bare feet seem much more sinister. He's over there sleeping. I wonder what he's dreaming.....

Maybe his dog was trying to help him. People are reported dogs trying to nip and lesions that turned out to be malignant. This pup may have smelled bad tissue and tried to clean up.

I think you may be right. A family member noted that in the months prior to her diagnosis of breast cancer that her Doberman had been pushing his nose up to the affected breast and acting strange,,she thought it was some sort of strange doggie thiing {pervert} until she got the diagnosis. Now he has new respect.

Hi...Rockfish,

"Damned dogs will eat anything!"

Didn't DOGS eat Jezebell?

Or was that (X 42) Ahab's Jezebell (Hillary)?

Wishes...IF Only!
