Britain’s biggest dog Samson has a broken toe
December 21st, 2011 - 9:46 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLondon, Dec 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Samson, regarded as the biggest dog in Britain, has broken its toe. The animal broke the toe after it reportedly hit it on a pavement. The accident happened some weeks back.
Samson weighs a massive 20 stone and reaches a length of seven-feet four inches. The black-fur creature is currently being cared for by its owners Ray and Julie Woods. The family revealed that they have been putting ice on the lump that the animal has suffered and they are hoping that cures the massive creature because they don’t have money to take the animal to the vet. Ray is a retired taxi driver.
Julie told reporters that, “Samson was walking along on the way home from his morning walk. We were just two doors away when suddenly he yelped and started walking on three legs…We had to put ice on his toe, then bathe it and bandage it. We’re sure he’s broken it, but we don’t have enough money to take him to the vet to get it x-rayed.”
Samson has been injured before in the past. In 2008, the animal was in the news when the ligament to its back leg was damaged. A campaign to save the dog yielded £4,000 which was used for treatment to get the animal back up again.
