"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."
Gee whiz...This would be a really rotten way to wake up.

mentor, you and old reb could very well be right, my wife had a lot of foot pain due to diabetes and MS, our dog would get in bed and let her prop her feet on him as long as she needed to, he wouldn't do that for anyone else, and a couple of times when she fell he came and let her pull up on him and steady herself.
