On a trip to the dog park our hunting dog ran off sniffing and we thought she had picked up a stick but as we realized that unless it was a furry bloated stick it was definitely a rat. As we got closer to her she realized we would take it away from her so the obvious response was to swallow it. Her dad quickly shoved his hand in her throat and caught the tail as it was going down her throat and pulled out the entire thing!

God job, Dad!
DogMom, I think you’re right – she looks quite affronted – “That was MY rat!” 😀
Cindy
Eeeeewwwwww!! Well, that grossed me out and I was not even there!

That is easily the most disgusting thing I’ve read. Good work, dad. It would have been the vet removing it had it been my dog!

Ah ha, a purebred rat hound. 🙂
