TV star Dan Dotson from Storage Wars made the news with his recent accident.
Dotson who has served as the auctioneer for Storage Wars since its beginning in 2010, recently had a home accident involving his dogs.
What happened to Storage Wars star Dan Dotson’s finger?
Dotson was attempting to break up a fight between his two dogs when he had his finger ripped off.
Dotson has two French bulldogs, one named Louis and the other named Jax.
The two began fighting, and in attempt to stop the fight, Dotson stuck his hand near the dog’s where one bit him and ripped his finger off.
It was Dotson’s ring finger, and it was able to be re-attached by a doctor.
After the event, which took place in December of 2020, Dotson had confirmed that he had learned his lesson about getting involved with the dogs.
“Louis and Jax are best of friends but when the bullies get in a fight, you have to be careful where you place your fingers,” in the caption to a YouTube video, displaying graphic photos of his injury.
Dotson also has another dog, Rambo, who is a Mastiff. Mastiff is a large dog breed, whereas French bulldogs are a small dog breed.
Dotson half-joked that he would be relying on Rambo to break up the fights from now on, “From now on, it’s Rambo’s job to break up the boys when they’re fighting.”
Did Dan Dotson have an aneurysm?
While the injury Dotson sustained to his ring finger was serious and gruesome, it hasn’t been the most serious health scare for Dotson.
In June of 2014 Dotson suffered a double aneurysm overnight in his home.
In the middle of the night, Dotson’s wife reports that he woke up and was asking very strange questions.
Later she said at around seven in the morning, he complained about double vision and feeling ill.
After getting up to take a shower, Dotson collapsed onto the floor, prompting his wife to call 911.
Over the phone, the 911 operator gave her instructions on how to perform CPR on her husband.
Dotson went into surgery to repair any damage to his brain, and has been in good health since.
