David Lindsay said he has no plans to give away the dog.
A man in the UK said his puppy saved his leg after chewing the big toe "to the bone" while he was asleep. According to The New York Post, David Lindsay was taking a nap on the sofa with his bulldog Harley nearby. He was woken up by his wife's screams who shouted the pup's chewing his toe. The man saw a bloody stump where his big toe had been. The 7-month-old pup gnawed it so badly that the toe was fractured, and a nail was seen hanging off from it.
Though the couple was shocked to discover what the dog did, but it later turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
"It chewed down to the bone and cracked it. But Because of all this, I discovered that my foot is completely numb, I can't feel anything," Mr Lindsay was quoted as saying by the Post.
The Cambridge resident had to spend nine days in the hospital as doctors administered intravenous antibiotics to stop the infection from spreading to his bone.
