Little Doggie Swallows 13 Golf Balls

Posted 9/07/2008.

Kristen Oscar the black Labrador retriever performed an amazing magic trick for his owner.  He swallowed thirteen golf balls.  Yet, this little five year old black Labrador swallowed on entire Baker’s dozen of golf balls. Oscar’s owner, Chris Morrison, takes his dog on regular walks near the Pitreavie Golf Course in Dunfermline, Fife in Great Britain. Chris Morrison did not notice that his dog was beating the golf balls until Oscar gave off a distinct rattling noise. He took the little dog to their veterinarian, Bob Hesketh, where Oscar went in for emergency surgery. The veterinarian was stunned when a open off stir up. He stated, ‘It was like a magic trick…When I went into his stomach I was expecting one or two balls, but they just kept coming…until we had a bagful.’ One Golf ball had been in there so long it turned black. Oscar is recovering well from his surgery.  Perhaps you should go in the world Guinness book of records for being a dog that swallow the most golf balls?   Morrison, Oscar’s owner has stated, ‘He normally picks up golf balls and brings them home but must have been swallowing some all along. I take him out early in the morning and late at night, normally around the areas of the ninth and 12th fairways…He hunts them down like truffles. He finds them in all sorts of places where golfers lose them…He does get a bit frustrated now and again. He couldn't go running around straight away but he is now off the lead again.’ Oscar is continuing his regular walks but he now wears a muzzle to make sure he does not eat the golf balls.  He’s a recovering fast though his food is being watered down so it does not damage his digestive tract as it heals.   Source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/sep/06/animalwelfare?gusrc=rss&feed=uknews
