(Reuters)—A Michigan man credited his dog with saving his life by chewing off his diseased big toe as he lay passed out in a drunken stupor(昏迷).
Jerry Douthett,48,woke up on a Saturday night in late July in his Rockford,Michigan home to find his Jack Russell Terrier,Kiko,had gnawed_off his right big toe.
“The dog always lay with me on the bed,”said Douthett.“That night,I woke up and looked down at my foot,and it was wet. When I looked it was blood, and there was the dog looking at me with a blood mustache. ”
Douthett's wife,Rosee,rushed him to a hospital where doctors found he was suffering from Type 2 diabetes. His toe was badly infected and surgeons amputated(截)the remainder of the toe.
Douthett's wife,a registered nurse,had been urging him for weeks to have his infected toe examined by a doctor.
On the night Kiko ate his toe,Douthett said he had been out with his wife and drank about six or seven beers and a pair of giant margaritas—big enough to put goldfish in.
“I was selfmedicating at this point,”he said.“The moral of the story is that the dog saved my life,because otherwise I would never have gone to see a doctor.”
The couple said they were amazed that Kiko appeared to know Douthett had an infection that needed treatment.
