A grandfather had his legs and some fingers amputated after being bitten by a dog, just a few weeks after the same animal attacked and killed his own brother-in-law. 

Mark Day On the day of his brother-in-law's funeral, Akita of Japan asked Ted to bit him, and then he suffered from sepsis. 

46-year-old Barry Harris was described as a huge teddy bear when he bought it for £1,500 at Ted-and died of a cardiac arrest after biting his arm. The bite was severely infected, causing his heart to fail three days later.

After Mr. Harris passed away in July, Mr. Harris's sister and brother-in-law Pauline and Pauline adopted the dog and took care of it.

Then, 62-year-old Mr. Dai was also bitten by a dog on August 19.

Pauline and Mark Day talked about their grief, because Mr. Day's legs were bitten by Akita Ted. After his brother-in-law Barry Harris was killed by the same dog, both legs were amputated. 

Akita Ted had to be put down after biting Mr. Dai and killing his brother-in-law Mr. Harris 

The bite caused sepsis, and his legs and fingers on his left hand were amputated, and two fingers on his right hand were amputated.

The couple were very sad, saying they didn't know that Ted's mouth was full of bacteria. 

After the doctor said he was responsible for the injury, Ted was put down.

Mrs. Dai said: "It's like a nightmare. You just don't believe this has happened,' 

"My brother's shock is one thing, and then my husband. It's so surreal.

The bite caused his body temperature to soar, and his legs felt like ice cubes.

Organ failure. To save his life, he was in a coma for 10 days and woke up to a terrible sight.  

He said to the mirror: "My feet are almost black on the ascending third.

"I don't know if it will continue to appear in my body."

The couple said that they didn't know that Ted was the cause of Mr. Harris' death until Mr. Dai almost died.  

Mrs. Dai said that the dog had just "broken the skin of her husband and brother." It is a soft dog but very aggressive towards food.

The couple believed that Ted was treated as a puppy. 

Seven weeks before Mr. Harris's death, the dog was purchased through Facebook and sold by a London seller.

Mr. Harris was bitten while trying to remove a bone from an animal’s teeth.   

He had a cold sweat and a headache and died at home.  

His brother-in-law Mr. Dai stayed in the hospital for 82 days and was finally discharged.

He hopes to get a prosthesis as soon as possible and said that despite the injury, he is very pragmatic.

Mr. Dai looks forward to taking his granddaughter to walk and fish again.  

He also wants to raise a puppy-but will make sure the vet treats it first.
