An Edinburgh dog owner whose mischievous pooch got hold of her asthma inhaler has told how the beloved pet was “lucky to be alive” after the device ‘exploded’ in its mouth.
Crossbreed Leia caused part of the breathing aid to ‘shoot across the room’ after chewing through the plastic casing when owner Marion Reith briefly turned her back.
The three-year-old was rushed for emergency treatment following the incident amid fears the medication could cause “total organ failure”.
