Writer-director Paul Schrader has a long friendship with filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Together, they created “Taxi Driver,” “Raging Bull,” and “The Last Temptation of Christ,” classics of the seventh art. However, not all stories about the duo are one of success and joy.
In an interview with “Variety” magazine, Paul Schrader said that he had part of a big toe torn off and eaten by one of the Scorsese family pets. “He’s got some dogs. They are very cute. Two of them are bichon frisé. They are very pretty. But they also have a Scottish terrier, it’s a problem dog. It’s his daughter’s dog. He doesn’t like the dog, but he needs to keep it and blah blah blah,” the screenwriter began.
“The Scottish terrier didn’t just rip off part of my big toe, he also ate it,” Schrader continued, saying the accident happened when he went to pet his pet.
