21.Robin Wylde and his dog Sally were out walking in a local park when a remote controlled airplane ‘came out of nowhere and careered into the side of my dog’s head.’ Sally needed six stitches in her ear.

22.Bad breath was the least of Irish Setter Shane’s worries. He was treated by vets in Swindon after eating an entire leather shoe.

23.Sky, an eighteen month old German Shepherd, shocked his owner after chewing through a can of shaving gel and then eating the entire contents. Although he was rushed to the local vet, Sky showed no ill effects.

24.Inquisitive mongrel Stanley from Whitehaven in Cumbria, needed rescuing after getting his head firmly lodged between two steel railings near a local school. Stanley had escaped and it was thought that he was trying to visit the ducks that the school kept as pets.

25. £139.50 was the total cost of treatment required for Ghandi, a St. Bernard who ate his owner’s hair curlers.

26.Unlucky Basset Willy had two near misses in one day. First he was taken to the vet’s after consuming half a tin of shoe polish, then later in the day he returned to the surgery after swallowing a battery from a television remote controller.

27.Yorkshire Terrier Barney had to wait three days before 33 missing jigsaw pieces were retrieved from his stomach. X-rays alone cost his owners more than £180.

28.Lincoln the Dalmatian puppy got himself into a ropey situation in his home town of Leeds. He chewed the head of a Barbie doll and swallowed it causing himself a severe stomach upset.

29.Sheba, a two year old German Shepherd from Scarborough caused havoc recently when she nearly burned down her house. She stood up on her hind legs to inspect the contents of what turned out to be an empty saucepan. ‘Sheba must have slid the dial to number five and I simply didn’t notice until it was too late,’ claimed the dog’s owner. Nobody was hurt but the house still had the unwanted musk of a burnt saucepan.

30.Sue Greenway was shocked to return to an empty parking space after popping into a shop for some flowers. She had left Sooty, her three year old black Labrador in the car. During her absence Sooty somehow managed to release the handbrake causing the car to roll backwards into a recycling bin. Police officers attending the incident insisted that the handbrake was not fully engaged while Sue maintains that it must have been Sooty’s doing. Sooty sustained a minor leg injury.
