I am just writing this post in regards to an article I read yesterday. If you have a paper shredder, make sure it is in a place where your pets and children can't have access to it. This is a heart wrenching story about a dog who somehow got it's tongue caught in a paper shredder and the dog actually bit it's own tongue off to get free.
The owners of the dog immediately rushed the poor dog to the animal hospital. The vet told them, even if they reattached the dog's tongue it probably would never be able to eat or drink normally, so the owners made the choice to euthanize him.
What a horrible story, but maybe this is a warning to the rest of us with pets and children.
I must admit, reading this article really upset me. I expected it to have a brighter ending. I thought if they just reattached the dog's tongue, everything would be okay, but they wasn't the case.
