indigirl Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Dogs. They look innocent. Don't be fooled. THIS story's a real balltearer. A 39-year-old US man, who is paralysed from the waist down, recently adopted a "small, white, fluffy" stray dog to be his loving companion. The new relationship went swimmingly for about three weeks, until the dog chewed off one of his new owner's testicles. Said owner awoke at 7:45am on Monday morning to a "burning pain" in his midsection, reports KAIT8.com. Looking down, he noticed that "the dog had eaten one of his testicles". The dog was still between his legs with blood on its muzzle and teeth. Luckily, as the man told police, he has no feeling whatsoever from the waist down. Hey, you have to find the silver lining in these situations. Police had the dog euthanised at a local vet, and its head was sent to the Arkansas Department of Health to be tested for rabies. Yes, just its head, because the day's events weren't gruesome enough already. The man didn't know whether the dog had been vaccinated. He was taken to the aptly named St Bernard's Regional Medical Centre for treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wildthing Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The man stated he "has no feeling from his waist down". Then why did he awaken to a "burning sensation" between his legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan B Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's not the first time an owner has woken to find a piece of himself being chewed off. When people ask why I crate my dogs at night, I will just tell them these stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackJaq Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Of course they only sent the head, that is all they need for rabies testing and quite common practice in countries where they have rabies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 eeekkkk - perhaps the dog wasn't being fed enough .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 there has to be much more to this story if it is even true. Dogs dont just stroll up and start eating us while we're sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJaq Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I don't think anyone was disputing the head sending? No I was just mentioning it because this is what the article said: Police had the dog euthanised at a local vet, and its head was sent to the Arkansas Department of Health to be tested for rabies. Yes, just its head, because the day's events weren't gruesome enough already. I assume whoever wrote it is not familiar with rabies protocols or they would not find it unusual...

_PL_ Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Probably just thought it was a chew toy. :) A dog just having a little test (of the testes) and not being caught could easily settle in for a nom. The things I've lost to fosters who have never been taught! No body parts thank goodness, but sometimes if you don't catch them or imagine they wouldn't possibly be interested in chewing a random item then you lose. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I went looking for the story on that website, and then followed a few links to other stories. Geez, they have some pretty sensational crimes being committed over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
