A dog that chewed its owner's big toe 'to the bone' could have inadvertently saved a man's life. David Lindsay, 64, woke up in a stir to find his puppy gnawing away at his toe after he heard his wife's screams.
The retired builder's big toe covered in blood with the bone being fractured by seven month old dog Harley, with the nail of his toe left hanging off, reports the Mirror.
What was a terrifying incident turned out to be a potential blessing, as the father-of-five was told by doctors that he had lost the feeling in his feet due to blocked arteries in his legs.
