Benji snuck into the garage at his home in Livingston and scoffed the toys
A greedy labrador was forced to undergo life-saving surgery after wolfing down eight rubber duck toys.
Medics at Vets Now in Edinburgh discovered one of the toys had become lodged in his bowel, which was at serious risk of perforating. The only way to remove it was through an emergency operation - a procedure made more difficult because of similar surgery he had 18 months earlier after swallowing a dog toy squeaker.
“He’s also really, really cunning when it comes to eating things he shouldn’t. Believe it or not, he once managed to unzip my son Euan’s schoolbag and eat through his homework – which has got to be one of the few times that the ‘dog ate my homework’ excuse has actually been true. Vets Now’s vet surgeon Fiona Selby, who performed the life-saving surgery, told how dogs eating foreign objects wasn’t unusual but that this was her first rubber duck run-in.
