TRUMANN, Ark. — An Arkansas man awoke Monday morning to a horrific scene — his dog eating one of his testicles.

The man is paralyzed and told police he didn’t have “feeling from the waist down,” KAIT-TV reported.

According to a police report, the man had a “burning pain” in his mid-section. The man told police he sleeps in the nude and noticed his dog was between his legs. He also noticed the dog had blood on its muzzle and front feet, the TV station said.

After looking further, he noticed “the dog had eaten one of his testicles.”

The dog was taken to a veterinarian where it was euthanized. The man said he was not sure if the pup had been vaccinated because it was a stray he rescued weeks earlier.

The unidentified victim was taken to the hospital and treated, KAIT-TV said.
