31 - 40

31.Vets in north London were astonished to discover upwards of £600 worth of jewellery, including a platinum plated brooch, inside the stomach of Luther, a four year old Bull Mastiff, after he became lethargic and lost his appetite. Equally astonished were Luther’s owners, who did not recognise any of the pieces.

32.Charlie, a 13 week old Poodle from Nottingham astonished his owners and a local vet after being run over by the family’s. ‘Charlie just sprang up and ran into the garage. I thought we would be scraping him off the drive,’ commented next door neighbour Jason Webber.

33.Two year old poodle Abbey from Leicester did well not to start a fight or make a pass at an inappropriate neighbour during a street barbecue last summer. She polished off an entire bowl of punch, containing half a bottle of vodka. The vet had to be called out as no-one was sober enough to drive her to the surgery.

34.Legal action was taken against Ross Shepard after it was alleged that his Labrador, Lloyd, had urinated on a six month old baby in a pushchair. The case never got to court as the child’s father could not prove it was Lloyd who committed this most heinous of deeds.

35.Lucy Moore, a 16 year old dog walker from Bristol, thought she had seen the last of Bradley, a German Shepherd belonging to her next door neighbour, after throwing a stick for him near a local quarry. The fire brigade were called out after the wind carried the stick over the quarry edge. The travelling stick proved too tempting for Bradley, who promptly followed it to the bottom of the quarry, receiving a broken leg for his efforts.

36.Christmas was ruined for eight year old Jason Bellamy from Preston. Jason’s twelve months of impeccable behaviour earned him, quite rightly, a brand new games system. However, family Dachshund Glen demonstrated his disgust at receiving an inferior gift (unconfirmed reports suggest it was a squeaky Santa) by going to the toilet on Jason’s new present, subsequently invalidating the warranty. This cost Jason’s step-dad the best part of £200.

37.Chubby Jack Russell Bobby from West Sussex was showing of his hunting prowess when he managed to get himself firmly lodged in a rabbit hole. He had to be pulled out by his owner.

38.Ralph, a Yorkshire Terrier puppy from Mablethorpe, cost owner Aaron Johnson a self-employed painter and decorator, £453.90 after he ate the contents of Aaron's wallet.

39.Dog owner Geoff Millburn had to be restrained after his dog was nearly run over by a council steamroller

40.Being late for work seemed rather irrelevant to Ian Russell from Telford after he discovered that his missing car keys had been eaten by his Border Collie Ramsey. The vet’s invoice came to more than £300
