A dog the size of a Jack Russell terrier (above) is reported to have bitten off its owner’s penis in Germany.
A man was taken to hospital after his dog “the size of a Jack Russell terrier” bit his penis and ate it.
Neighbors of the man, who lives in Germany, alerted the police after hearing the dog’s incessant barking from their home at 2am.
When first responders arrived, they could hear loud moans coming from the man’s home.
They broke down the front door and found the 66-year-old man writhing in pain next to his barking dog.
He was taken to hospital with his life in danger after the gruesome incident.
German newspaper Bild said that the man’s penis, which they described as “an instrument of the crime”, was not recovered from the scene.
Lemanis, from the Bochum police, told the German tabloid: “The man was put into an artificial coma by the doctors. We hope we can interview him soon.
“One hypothesis, of course, is that the dog, which is about the size of a Jack Russell terrier, bit the penis and ate it. The wound could also be a bite wound.
“But it is also possible a sexual accident or a crime”: he posted.
If the police conclude that the man’s animal bit his penis, it would not be the first case reported.
In 2012, a 61-year-old Austrian man was attacked by a stray dog and had his genitals bitten off.
After he was taken to the hospital and underwent an operation lasting several hours, they were able to save his genitals.
