Surgeons had to amputate Greg Manteuful's legs – and considered removing his arms – after contracting the deadly virus.
He contracted a blood infection after being licked by the dog, which it was believed to be his, according to Fox6.
His wife Dawn told the station: "This hit him with a vengeance, giving him bruises."
"It looked like someone had beaten him with a baseball bat, he was suddenly approaching, he's 48 years old and has been with dogs all his life, and then it happens
"He did not stop telling the doctors," Take what you need, but keep me alive. "
"And they did, which is surprising, they did."
Dr. Silvia Munoz-Price, Infectious Diseases Specialist at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin, said at the station: "This type of bacteria comes from the saliva of dogs.
"This infection in the blood triggered a very severe response on his body." Over 99% of people who have dogs will never have this problem. It's just lucky. "
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Greg buy replacement dentures, and he has so far raised $ 15,000 from his $ 25,000 goal.
