Pit bull bites off Rochester man's tongue
ontiac — A 33-year-old Rochester man had part of his tongue bitten off and eaten when he tried to make friends with a pit bull, according to the Oakland County Sheriffs Office.
Deputies were called to a home in the 800 block of N. Perry Street at about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday on reports of an animal bite.
An investigation showed that the victim was visiting the owner of the animal and at some point, while trying to make friends with the dog, stuck out his tongue while face-to-face with the animal.
The dog bit off a substantial portion of the man’s tongue and ate it, according to authorities. The bit-off portion was not recovered and believed swallowed by the dog.
The man was transported to McLaren Hospital for treatment.
According to deputies, this is the second time in four months that this particular pit bull has bitten someone. The dog has been quarantined for the next 10 days by the Oakland County Animal Control department, which will investigate the incident.
