Dog Gnaws Off Diabetic Owner's Toe

ALTON, Ill. - An Illinois woman says her beloved miniature dachshund gnawed off her right big toe while she was asleep. Linda Floyd told the Alton Telegraph for a story Wednesday that her beloved Roscoe was euthanized because of safety concerns.

The 56-year-old says she has no feeling in her toes because of nerve damage from diabetes. She discovered the toe missing after waking from a nap Monday. She called her daughter, who phoned 911.

A veterinarian says the toe had been bandaged because of a healing hangnail. That might have somehow attracted the dog.

Well, that really sucks...The dog probably didn`t know it was her foot.

"So, how did you all lose your big toe?"

Man: Lawnmower accident.
Woman: The machine in the factory had safety off.
56 year old: My dog gnawed it off...

For a dog to be gnawing away at your bodily parts says something is wrong with the dog.

"This Shit tastes FUCKING AWESOME!"

Too bad for the dog though. But better off, cause that woman probably gave him the diabetes from the tow alone!
