“ Six puppies have been taken in by the RSPCA after being
found abandoned by the roadside in Kent. Though it's unclear why they have been abandoned, employees on the
RSPCA Canterbury and District Branch consider they may have been left by a
breeder after failing to sell. A Lochaber family has vowed
to never throw a stick once more after a recreation of fetch with their beloved dog left it impaled down his throat.
Shocked and scared, the household rushed him to
their native vets in Fort William as Brodie lay "paralysed" in their arms with the
stick wedged in his oesophagus. Employees
from the vets intensive care group monitored his situation overnight in preparation for
surgery to remove the stick the next morning. 5-year-previous cocker spaniel Brodie was out for a stroll with owner Allan MacDonald near their household house in Mallaig when a stick
thrown during a sport got lodged dangerously between his throat and his stomach.
The anamnesis revealed that the proprietor had vaccinated the dog seven times,
one vaccination per month, without veterinarian supervision. ”
