Rocky, an 11-month-old German shepherd, came alive when veterinarian Matthew Wheaton entered the room.


The pup, first timid and shy, tumbled over for a belly rub. Wheaton obliged. While Rocky licked his face, Wheaton checked the bandage covering the pup’s stump leg.

Wheaton concluded, based on ligature marks, the pup had chewed off his own foot.
