Dog ingests an engagement ring
DOGS can be quite mischievous and naughty, but Pepper takes the cake. The pet pooch was admitted to the Valley Farm Animal Hospital in Pretoria after foregoing his diet of pet food for a richer variety.
His owner, Elisabeth Vendel, had a very specific request – Pepper had accidentally ingested her engagement ring.
Unable to extract the ring from his stomach, vets used a less invasive method by administering medicine to induce vomiting, according to www.ndtv.com
The animal hospital saw the funny side and posted an adorable picture of Pepper on Facebook, before the meds took hold.
“My name is Pepper. Do I look a little nauseous? That’s because the vet has just given me something to make me vomit! Not because the vet is a meanie but because I ate my Mom’s engagement ring!!! Don’t ask! It seemed like a good idea at the time.
“Anyway, not long after this, the muti did its stuff and up came Mom’s ring, as good as new… even better, as she’ll always have our story to tell,” reads the post.
The post has had thousands of comments and shares. Many Facebook users shared their own funny pet stories: “Make sure you don’t leave your coffee unattended… my dog Pepe stole mine and my house was a racetrack, but I love when my boy gets up to no good… I can’t stop laughing,” wrote Alex Sidari.
Another said: “My girl keeps me on my feet and because of her I am so motivated to do so many things with her… love her to death.”
“Poor pup! Glad it worked out well! We had a similar incident with our boxer that needed surgery, so you got lucky!!!” said Nancy Endicott.
