Benji, who is described as a 'riot' by his owner, had life-saving surgery after sneaking into the garage and tucking into the toys.
A greedy Scots labrador was forced to undergo life-saving surgery after wolfing down eight rubber duck toys. Food-obsessed Benji snuck into the garage at his home in Livingston, West Lothian, while his owner Sandra McCreadie got his paddling pool out in June.
Owner Sandra said: “A dog eating eight rubber ducks does sound quite comical – but it was honestly no laughing matter at the time. It was actually really, really serious and I was very worried that Benji might not make it, especially given the surgery he’d had before. “My other dog Buster is a Labrador who is four years older than Benji – he has never had any mishaps and is always perfectly behaved. So, I don’t know where Benji gets it from.”
She said: “I have to say, in my ten years qualified I’ve frequently seen cases of pets eating unusual or strange objects - but I can honestly say I have never had a case of a rubber duck before.
