A puppy had to undergo a life-saving operation after eating a fake pile of dog dirt.
Boo, a black crossbreed, swallowed the joke object after a bag of dog biscuits was dropped on the floor.
It got lodged in the six-month-old puppy's intestines, forcing vets to carry out emergency surgery.
Owner Shelly Bryson, 33, from Dundee, thanked animal charity PDSA after it carried out the life-saving surgery on her pet.
“My daughter Reese accidentally dropped a bag of dog biscuits and they got mixed up with the fake dog poo that had been left on the floor,” she said.
“For some reason Boo decided to eat it and swallowed it down in one. I got straight on the phone to PDSA as she had been sick and was refusing to eat, and they told me to bring her in immediately.”
Vet stephan hunt, from the PDSA PetAid hospital in Dundee, said the joke item moved into Boo's intestines and caused a potentially fatal blockage.
‘Worried sick'
“We gave Boo intravenous fluids to keep her hydrated and carried out emergency surgery to remove the object from her stomach,” he said.
“Dogs often swallow things they should not, behaviour known as pica.
“Dogs use their mouth to explore objects as well as to eat them. Sometimes the two functions get confused and a dog will eat an object by mistake.”

He’s crazy like my “puppy” ;D Hank now, i bet.
He’s adorable.
Awww, it’s so sweet isn’t it.
Sweet Kangal puppy, they are playful but Harley will need a large garden or large areas. It is about their natures. Kangals are shepherd dogs, like hang around large areas in nature, places with cool weather (their fur convenient for winter conditions). They are fast growing large dogs, do not feed too much when becomes mature. You can reach enough info what they need on youtube, (write “Kangal Anatolian Shepherd” or “Kangal Köpeği” ) also there are a website about Kangals (kangalclub)
Good luck with him. He will be very protective of the immediate family and property. Get him socialized ASAP.
