When Jayne Hardman’s dog playfully knocked her in the nose, the UK woman was shocked when it triggered a diagnosis of a rare disease that would cost her nose. Looking back, she says her beloved pet “saved” her life by “alerting” her that something was wrong.
One day back in 2012, the UK’s Jayne Hardman was playing with her “really large Neapolitan Mastiff,” CeCe, when the nearly 130-pound dog accidentally jumped up and hit her in the nose.
At first, it seemed like nothing more than an unlucky knock, but when persistent nosebleeds and unusual swelling refused to go away, she realized something wasn’t right.
