The man was discovered by neighbors that a dog bit off his penis and ate it
The shocking incident took place in Herne, Germany, and was spotted when the man's neighbors grew increasingly concerned about the continuous barking coming from his residence.
Without hesitation, they immediately reached out to the local authorities, who swiftly responded to the scene in the early hours of the morning.
Inside the house, they discovered the 66-year-old man in critical condition, accompanied by his dog.
The man was taken to the hospital in a coma
Recognizing the severity of his injuries, they immediately transported him to the hospital for urgent medical attention.
According to reports, neither the man's pennis nor any evidence of the incident has been found at the scene
The victim's health condition prevented him from providing any information about the incident.
After the man's arrival at the hospital, Police Chief Inspector Frank Lemanis revealed that medical professionals had placed him in an induced coma.
Lemanis, representing the Bochum police, expressed the anticipation of questioning the man once his condition stabilized.
Theories have been raised around the mysterious incident, the man's pet dog is the main suspect in the case
Investigators are currently considering many possibilities, with the dog being the primary suspect in causing the injuries.
One theory is that the man's dog, which is similar in size to a Jack Russell terrier, may have bitten off and consumed his penis.
Another possibility is that the injury could be a result of a bite wound.
Additionally, there is a chance that the incident could be related to a sexual accident or an intentional crime.
A similar case of a dog biting off the penis
If the police chief's hypothesis proves to be true, it would not be the first time such an incident has been reported.
In 2012, a similar case occurred in Austria, where a loose dog attacked a man, biting his genitals.
Fortunately, surgeons were able to save the man's penis after a lengthy operation, but the dog and its owner were never found.
