An Abrupt Change in Ben Horne's Life
In a November night in 2019, the world of British Ben Horne changed irrevocably. At 34 years old, Ben had been dealing with epilepsy since his teenage years, facing the daily challenges of a condition that often presented itself without warning.
However, a recent change in his medication had introduced a new type of nighttime seizures, plunging him into a vulnerability that neither he nor his loyal dog, Henry, could have anticipated.
That night, Henry, a dog who had been his loyal companion for a decade, woke up scared and confused. Ben's erratic movements and unconscious state during the seizure filled him with panic.

In his terror, Henry attacked, tearing the flesh from his owner's face. When Ben regained consciousness, he found himself surrounded by blood, with the stinging pain and disorientation as his company. Despite the shock and severity of his injuries, he managed to call an ambulance.
His journey to recovery was long and painful. Surgeons worked for ten hours at Musgrove Park Hospital, trying to save what remained of his face. Ben faced an extreme physical transformation.
The Recovery Process
His journey to recovery was long and painful. Surgeons worked for ten hours at Musgrove Park Hospital, trying to save what remained of his face. Ben faced an extreme physical transformation.
The first of many reconstructive surgeries took place in May 2021, where they used bone from his ribs to rebuild his nose. With each operation, Ben had to deal with complications and difficult decisions, but his determination never wavered.
Each surgical intervention became a step towards the reconstruction not only of his face but also of his identity. Along the way, he also faced the emotional burden of accepting his new image.

“It’s like being naked in public,” Ben confessed, referring to the vulnerability he felt after each surgery and the way the world perceived him.
Ben's struggle was not limited to physical recovery. The internal transformation was just as formidable. Accepting his new reality was a slow and painful process. Every glance on the street and every whisper around him were constant reminders of his change.
The Internal Transformation
Ben's struggle was not limited to physical recovery. The internal transformation was just as formidable. Accepting his new reality was a slow and painful process. Every glance on the street and every whisper around him were constant reminders of his change.
However, Ben was determined to find humor and hope in his situation. “At least I can say I have a tattoo on my nose,” he joked, trying to find a light amidst the darkness.
The decision to rehome Henry was also part of his healing process. Although the pain of separating from his ten-year-old friend was immense, Ben understood it was best for both of them. Henry found a new home, and Ben could focus on his recovery.
Despite the challenges, Ben found purpose in sharing his story. By opening up his life to public scrutiny, he hoped to provide support to others facing similar circumstances.
