The Choking Dog

There was a woman who lived in a small house in the suburbs of a big city. She wasn't married and lived alone, with only the company of her big dog. The dog she owned was a Doberman.

One evening, the woman came home from work and found her dog choking on something. It was lying on the living room floor and gasping for air. The woman dropped her purse and tried to clear her dog's throat. She had no luck.

Concerned about the animal's welfare, she immediately loaded her pet into her car and drove him to the nearest vet's office.

The vet examined the Doberman right away. The vet said that he would probably have to operate on him to remove the obstruction in the dog's windpipe. He told the woman to go home and that he'd call her to let her know how things went.

Meanwhile, the dog was still gasping for air. It was getting weaker and weaker by the minute.

The flustered woman went straight home. As she was closing the front door to her house behind her, her cell phone rang. It was the vet. Something seemed wrong.

"Listen carefully," he said in an urgent tone. "You need to get out of the house right now. Go to your neighbor's place and wait for the police to arrive. I've already called them. Go! Now!"

Shocked and frightened, the woman wasted no time and ran straight out the front door.

A few minutes later, a police car arrived with its sirens blaring. The policemen got out and explained that they had to search the house.

They entered through the front door with their guns drawn. The woman was speechless. She had no idea what was going on.

She called the vet and told him to explain what was happening.

"I managed to clear the obstruction in your dog's throat," he said. "When I found out what he was choking on, I called the police. Your dog was choking on 3 human fingers."

After the police searched the place, they found a masked man in the woman's bedroom closet. He was armed with a knife and was cowering in pain, clutching his right hand.

The dog bit the man's 3 fingers off.
