The incident took place in Bihar’s Buxar district reported the Times of India. The picture (that's no longer available) of the black stray dog with the amputated leg in his mouth surfaced on social media on Monday and went viral in just a few hours.

The canine is seen holding a long piece of flesh and bones he acquired from the Sadar Hospital.

The limb belonged to one Ramnath Mishra of Ara district who was critically injured while trying to board a running Sharamjivi Express train. He slipped and fell on the tracks and his right leg was almost severed

Mishra was rushed to Sadar Hospital where his leg was amputated due to severe damage. But when the doctors were cleaning the operated part of his leg, the stray dog entered the OT and escaped with the amputated leg.

“The hospital staff, shocked over the incident, made frantic efforts to locate the stray dog but could not trace it,” a source from Buxar said.

Well, looks like every dog has its day!
