At first I wondered if the author couldn't have named some other body part in the story... But then I read in a NY Times article that the plot element that involved said scrotum was inspired by real life. One of the author's neighbors had a dog that was bitten on the scrotum by a snake.
What are you gonna do? Protect your kids from real life until they die?
