Hong Kong - Surgeons in China have re-attached a woman's lips after her pet dog bit them off when she kissed it, a news report said on Friday.
The woman regularly kissed her dog but one night in June the animal turned on her and bit off and swallowed her lips, according to the South China Morning Post.
The woman's family spent 40 minutes getting the dog to cough the lips up and surgeons in Xian, central China, were able to reattach them, the newspaper said. - Sapa-DPA
I can somewhat sort of relate to this story, as when I was five, my lips were bitten off by a beagle. The dog didn't swallow them though! I had them stitched back on after losing lots of blood (in the good old days, a parent needed to give permission for me to be rushed to the hospital). Instead I was driven to my house in a police car, and I recall an entire box or so of kleenex being used to control the bleeding! I had to endure speech therapy for a few years after that, but I still love dogs! I just don't kiss them on the mouth!
