Dogs You Shouldn't Name 'Lucky'

LONDON (Reuters) - German Shepherds are Britain's most unlucky canines according to a survey of the nation's dog owners.

Accident-prone Alsatians suffered the most number of calamities, from swallowing toys to getting their heads stuck in cat flaps, the poll of readers of Our Dogs magazine said Thursday.

The research also found that one of the most common accidents dogs suffered was falling down the toilet.

However the greatest tale of woe belonged to a Bull Terrier, which ate a bottle cap, plastic wrap, a toy car and some wire. The greedy mutt was put on a drip while an operation was carried out to remove the items -- and it promptly ate the drip as well.

When I worked at the animal hospital we had a guy bring in a GSD puppy (maybe 6 months old) that had been vomiting for a couple days. We did an abdomen x-ray and he had a belly full of rocks. Apparently when the owner was letting him out to use the bathroom he had been snacking on the garden rocks. We had to do surgeory to remove them and literally got a sandwhich size ziplock bag full of rocks.

The vet that owned the hospital had a cocker-poo named Nike. Somehow the dog managed to get a whole child size Nike shoe down his throat and in his belly.
