Former paratrooper: Dog saliva almost killed me
A former soldier has said he is going to keep his dogs despite almost dying from an infection caused by dog saliva.
David has pet whippets, but he told 5 live's Sarah Brett he also comes into contact with other dogs through racing meetings and added:
"I won’t put blame on any of mine which is why I’m prepared to keep them".
The former paratrooper was in a coma for six weeks and suffered leg injuries and multiple organ failures after catching the rare infection.
