How This Storage Wars Star Just Nearly Lost A Finger

On Episode 6 of Season 13 of "Storage Wars," Dan Dotson shared that he had sustained a serious injury (via People). While running an auction, he revealed his heavily bandaged hand and explained to the attendants that he got the injury from attempting to break up a fight between his two French bulldogs, Louis and Jax. In December 2020, Dotson posted a minute-long YouTube video shortly after the incident took place. He explained in the video that when he tried to separate the dogs, one of them bit his left ring finger.

Dotson showed in the graphic video that the tip of his finger was almost completely severed from his hand, and his wedding ring was covered in blood. He then shared photos of himself at the Redlands Hospital in California, where his finger was later reattached. Near the end of the short video, Dotson said that his Mastiff named Rambo broke up the fight after he was bitten. The auctioneer wrote, "He did great, clamping and pinning the aggressor like T-Rex to the floor. From now on, its Rambo's job to break up the boys when they're fighting."
