The Case Of The Rattling Golf Dog
MY dog rattles when he walks. How does he smell? “He finds golf balls like truffles,” says the owner.
A dog had to have 13 golf balls removed from its stomach after eating them on walks around a Fife course.
Owner Chris Morrison had been taking five-year-old black labrador Oscar round the Pitreavie golf course in Dunfermline for several months.
He took Oscar to the vet after noticing a rattling sound coming from his pet’s stomach.
They then discovered that 13 balls - each weighing 45 grams - were lodged in his stomach.
If the dog cold carry a club and gin and tonic, he might have a big future in the game…

My Ranald can carry 5 in his mouth…..seriously though, the physical danger of choking, damage to the stomach etc, and the risk of poisoning with all the chemicals transferred from the greens to the balls……mt crew all go and poo on the local football and sportsground now…
