Stephanie Burgess, a 28-year-old veterinarian who slept peacefully at her home in Tomball, Texas, woke up with a nightmare.

The 10-year-old Chihuahua apparently jumped onto Stephanie’s chest and developed uncontrolled diarrhea.

Stephanie slowly got out of bed to calm herself, still half asleep.

Stephanie said: “I was half asleep and just remember thinking “are you kidding me??”.
