Miniature Dachshund Gnaws Off Owner's Toe
Beloved Dog Euthanized
Alton, IL - An woman says her miniature dachshund gnawed off her right big toe while she was asleep. Linda Floyd told said that her beloved Roscoe was euthanized out 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. A veterinarian says the toe had been bandaged because of a healing hangnail, which may have attracted the dog.
Linda's story is wildly different than pit bull owner Terry Smith, who is paralyzed from the waist down. After his pit bull, China, chewed off four of his toes, animal control returned the dog to Terry. None of Terry's toes were recovered from the incident. The story of Terry was first reported December 10, 2007. Five months later, China was reported stolen, perhaps by someone that had "safety concerns" for Terry.
