Mini Dachshund Gnaws Off Diabetic Owner’s Toe
Woman Says She Has No Feeling In Toes
POSTED: 9:22 pm CDT July 3, 2008
ALTON, Ill. — An Illinois woman said 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 said 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 said the toe had been bandaged because of a healing hangnail. That might have somehow attracted the dog.

Ugh…This is like that lady whose poodle chewed off her bottom lip while she was in a drug-induced sleep.
I guess if the dachshund was never taught any bite inhibition, and the lady had no feeling or reaction when he was chewing on it, I could probably see that happening. Lord knows they chew up everything else & can chew a rawhyde & other bones apart…….(((shudder))) gives me the heebs just thinking about it.

I just think it’s sad that the poor little guy had to be euthanized. Dachshunds are not sharks! Why on earth would he be attracted to her toe anyway. I agree! WEAR SHOES!

Why would she get the dog put down? If it was me, and I was real worried about infection or it happening again, I’d find my dogs a good home, or better yet, keep my buddies and at night put them in a crate or another room. Idiocracy!!!!

I’m sorry to say but this story is true. I just read the story on the internet. This is the website
They should have tried to find a home. And the woman said she loved him and misses him. What a crock!!!!!This story made me so upset. I would have liked to have seen the toe. LOL

The doxie’s name was Roscoe and the poor liitle baby was only one year old. Shame on them for putting him to sleep
