Did you see the picture of the guy on the front page of the newspaper this morning ?   No . I haven't had a chance to read the paper yet .   you've got to see it . It's an unbelievable picture !   What's so interesting about it ?   Well , this guy fell asleep on the sofa and when he woke up , half his face had been bitten off !   What ? How did that happen ?   They think his dog was trying to wake him up and couldn't , so ended up biting him in his face .   Wow . What does his look like now ?   It looks pretty frightening . He doesn't have any lips , so all you can see are his gums and teeth . Most of his nose and chin are missing too .   What did he look like before his dog bit his face off ?   He was actually quite handsome . What a shame .   What's he going to do now ?   It said that he's hoping to get a face transplant , but until then , he's looking forward to Halloween so he isn't the only one wearing a mask .
