The Dog Who Swallowed A Mobile Phone!!!!!!! L_8828e11f5cd903f4e03ea831f5150f47

Take the case of Nero, a Doberman-Great Dane mix, from Valhalla, South
Africa, who got himself into a little hot water when he swallowed his
owner's cell phone. Driekie Boojens, daughter of the dog's owner Marie
Matthews, was feeding Nero when he snatched the woman's Nokia handset
right out of her daughter's hands and swallowed it.

Nero was rushed to the local animal hospital and had surgery the next
day to remove the phone. While they were in there, vets also found a
small collection of rocks in the dog's stomach. More evidence of the
intelligence of our canine friends.

Nero is fine now. The twelve-year-old mutt has a large scar on his
abdomen, but is otherwise healthy. The Nokia on the other hand, had to
be put down. Nero's stomach acid simply proved to be too much for it to
handle.
