The Choking Doberman - An Urban Legend

My cousin and his wife lived in Sydney with this huge doberman in a little apartment off Maroubra Road. One night they went out for dinner and a spot of clubbing. By the time they got home it was late and my cousin was more than a little drunk. They got in the door and were greeted by the dog choking to death in the loungeroom. My cousin just fainted, but his wife rang the veterinarian, who was an old family friend of hers, and got her to agree to meet her at the surgery. She gets home and finally slaps my cousin into consciousness, but he's still drunk. "Thank God I got you in time! Because she's such an old family friend, the wife trusts her, and so she starts getting the hubby down the stairs and out of the house. The vet shows up and says, "Have they got him? "Have they got who? " "Well, I found out what the dog was choking on – it was a human finger. " Just then the police drag out a dirty, stubbly man who is bleeding profusely from one hand.
