Rockford Michigan - “Dogs that bite are not ordinarily lavished with praise, but Jerry Douthett’s little dog Kiko is being hailed as a lifesaver. Kiko apparently sensed an infection festering in his master’s right big toe — and chewed most of it off after Douthett passed out in a drunken stupor. A trip to the hospital confirmed Douthett’s digit required amputation, and Kiko is being heralded by his owner for helping him realize he has been suffering from Type 2 diabetes. treatment that could save his life. The Grand Rapids Press says the 48-year-old musician knew for a while something was wrong with his foot. He agreed to seeking care after giving in to his nurse wife's pressure but before he could, Kiko sniffed it out. Douthett had a dangerously high blood-sugar level of 560 when admitted — many times the recommended 80 to 120. “Jerry had had all these Margaritas, so I just let him sleep,” said his wife, Rosee, a registered nurse. “But then I heard these screams coming from the bedroom, and he was yelling, ‘My toe’s gone, my toe’s gone!”
The highest level of achievement when you're heading out to get wasted has always been "wheelchair" drunk. My boy Jose has perfected it over the years and has actually started calling bars ahead of time to make sure they have a wheelchair on sight so we can cart his ass outta there after last call. But after hearing about Jerry Douchett and his man eating dog Kiko, it turns out there's a whole new level of drunk out there. And when John Falls throws his "Remember When Thursday Used To Be Blursday" bash tomorrow night, I plan on getting "my dog chewed off my toe" drunk. So somebody break out the blender, cause I'm bringing the Tequila.
PS - How bout this guys wife, who is a nurse mind you, just letting his toe get so gnarly with infection that his fuckin superhero dog has to chew that shit off before it turns into AIDS and kills him. Jesus, the hospital where this bitch works should can her ass immediately.
PSS - She does earn some points back for letting him sleep off his 15 Margarita hangover instead of making him mow the lawn or some shit.
