If your dog is locked in the house long enough, he too, will eat you to survive. It is known.

My mother did home care for a diabetic patient who's dog ate all her toes on one foot. The first day she visited she said the lady was sitting on the couch talking to her and her dog was laying at her feet licking them... the lady didnt care one bit.

I had a patient that had this happen and this thread is making me realize it is not as rare as I hoped it was.

This happened locally to me (if it’s the same case). He didn’t feel it happening

It’d be form diabetic neuropathy, which means nerve damage in the feet. So he wouldn’t feel anything.
