He went right from hospital to a nursing and rehab facility, where he received daily physical therapy and exercise, by qualified PTs under his doctor's direction. Despite being anything *but* "bed-bound*, he still ended up with recurring circulatory issues in one foot that didn't respond well to medication and some minor surgical procedures to improve circulation. So, the two smallest toes began to develop gangrene, and needed to be amputated to preserve the remainder of healthy tissue in his foot. <br /><br />This happened to a person 30 years younger than Terrance, whose stroke damage was much less extensive, and who was in active rehab under medical supervision. So, it's probably fair to assume that a "bed-bound" senior at home, who may not have the same proactive care and monitoring by medical professionals, would be at more risk of having tissue deterioration going unnoticed.

The dog wasn't "attacking" T...Agreed. The dog wasn't "attacking" Terrence, and it's unlikely that he was "eating" the toes because he was hungry. Lots of dogs, especially terriers and other high-energy breeds, continue to seek out and enjoy "chew toys" even when they're well beyond the puppy stage and into *their* senior years:) <br /><br />The reason that *most* of our pet dogs don't devour our body parts is because if/when they start those playful nips and grabs, we quickly respond with some negative reinforcement... because it *hurts* us. So, they learn to avoid treating their human family members as chew toys. <br /><br />The problem here is that due to Terrence's paralysis, he couldn't *feel* this happening, and of course when he and the wife were both asleep, they couldn't *see* it either. So the dog didn't get any immediate negative response from his people to let him know the toe-gnawing was a "no-no." Instead, they slept on peacefully. He had no way of knowing that this particular behavior was not acceptable to them. <br /><br />I do agree that their failure to avoid the *second* incident was dumb. If the dog was otherwise a well-behaved, beloved family pet, and Terrance and Mrs. T. wanted to keep him, they could have made sure that the dog was kept out of the bedroom when they were asleep, and kept away from Terrance during times when Mrs. T. was away from the house and Terrance *might* doze off for a nap. As K. already stated, if they couldn't/wouldn't do this, re-homing the dog would be the only way to prevent further injury to Terrance.

Twenty years ago a neighbor's dog got out of it's fence and attacked my daughter. (she was on our front porch and nowhere near the fence the dog should have been behind) She had to have 9 stitches in her hand. Animal control came in and confiscated the dog to put it down. There was no discussion. I didn't have to ask them to do it. It was just done.
