A 44 yr old man in Balk, Netherlands has had his ear reattched after it was ripped off by his pet dog..

In intial reports it was said that the Am Staffordshire terrier( later Am bulldog) was known in the neighbourhood for being aggressive and that the man would constantly let it roam loose.
It was said to have attacked him and he got help from a passer by after managing to lock it in a bedroom..

Yesterday the man himself was interviewed.. HE says the neighbours are lying 'they hate all animals and make up stories'.. The dog is perfectly under control ' I only have to snap my fingers and he's here at my side'
He claims he was laying on the sofa watching TV and nodded off.

He woke up and found some blood on his face, then he noticed the dog further up in the room with a lump of something bloody, on investigation it turned out this was his ear.
At that point the doorbell rang and as normal he ordered the dog into the bedroom.
The postman who at the door called an ambulance.
As the man was taken away he gave permission for the dog to be PTS because he says ' hes tasted blood now and obviously liked it , he thought my ear was a tasty snack'

The local vet who put the dog to sleep said the dog was estimated to be 4 to 5 yrs old but was not known to them..
The mans ear has been reattached ..

Someone isnt telling the whole story here...
