‘So much blood!’ Travis singer Fran Healy reveals he was mauled by a sausage dog

Fran Healy – star of rock group Travis – has revealed how an attempt to save a sausage dog from a car accident resulted in injury, chaos, and a newfound penchant for firemen.

The singer, 48, posted snaps to Twitter showing off a gnarly wound on his bloodied hand – revealing how the runaway pooch mauled him.

Los Angeles-based Fran penned on Twitter: ‘I was driving down my hill and as I rounded a corner there were 3 cars jackknifed and from the middle of the chaos ran a daschund.

‘So I jumped out and chased it up the hill. Cars bomb down our hill and it would have been toast. So I tried to pick it up and it mauled the s**t out my left hand.

‘I held on, hoping to chuck it into our porch but then I slipped and it bolted off, leaving me pishing blood all over the shop. So much blood. Then all the neighbors came out and one of them called an ambulance.

‘I ran into the house and poured alcohol over the wounds… then I came out but it wasn’t an ambulance… it was a massive fire engine…

‘And I have to say, 5 Calvin Klein models got out and then I’m telling them about the daschund and they suggested urgent care…

‘By this time there was about 20 cars waiting to pass, I’m pishing blood (by the way ladies and some boys… I totally now get the fireman thing)

‘Anyways I drove to Urgent Care on Selma and they cleaned me up good and now I’m here and my finger is patched up and bloody sore.’

The gory snaps saw Fran’s fingers bitten, swollen and seeping blood, with another photo showing a trio of plasters on them.

The dog ended up being returned to his rightful owner – who happens to live in a home formerly owned by Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks.

 ‘The dog… is fine. Was cornered at the bottom of the hill and the owner, who lives in Stevie Nicks old house (pop pickers), was reunited,’ he penned, concluding the tale.
