Chewing off his diseased big toe

Today i was reading about this man that has credited his dog with saving his life by chewing off his diseased big toe as he lay passed out in a drunken stupor.Jerry Douthett 48 years old of Michigan in the United States, woke up in his home on a Saturday night in late July to find his Jack Russell Terrier, Kiko, had gnawed off his right big toe.The dog always lays with me on the bed,Mr Douthett said.That night, I woke up and looked down at my foot, and it was wet. When I looked there was blood, and there was the dog looking at me with a blood moustache.Mr Douthett's wife, Rosee, rushed him to hospital, where doctors found he was suffering from Type 2 diabetes.His toe was badly infected and surgeons amputated the remainder of the digit.
