After the dog bit him on Saturday, Chukna Ganju, 30, a resident of Dakra village, on the outskirts of Ranchi, caught hold of the animal and killed it by flinging it on stones.
When the dog died, he removed its heart with the help of a pair of scissors and ate it raw. The dog had bitten him several times during the course of being killed. "Now, there will be no effect of rabies on my body," Chukna said. According to him, he did not need medical help as he did the treatment by eating the heart of the dog.
The dog had bitten seven people of the village in the last one week and the villagers had been terrorised by the animal.

If a person gets bitten, don't panic. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and lots of water. Get medical help immediately. The person might need preventive treatment. Rabies rarely occurs in humans if preventive treatment is started immediately. Alert animal control authorities so they can try to capture the animal.
