Abstract

An elderly woman had been bedridden for several years, and was neither able to move her limbs or speak. One night, the woman’s family forgot that their small canine entered her room and was leaving overnight. Next morning, they discovered that the skin of the woman’s right eyelid had been gnawed away by all the layers by the dog.
