Dog Eats 43 Socks and Survives

A three year old Great Dane was miserable, retching and vomiting, when his owners rushed him to the animal hospital. X-rays showed a stomach full of what was described as “a large quantity of foreign material.” Nearly two hours of surgery later, Dr. Ashley Magee said the dog had consumed 43.5 socks. The hospital spokeswoman Shawna Harch says it’s perhaps the strangest case in the hospital’s history.
