An enormous St Bernard dog is said to have a mortal terror of vets following a bad experience, and will even run into walls in order to escape them. Weighing in at 78kg, Kingston looks more like a bear than a dog, but lacks courage when it comes to getting a check-up.
According to Kingston's owner Lucy Wells, the gigantic pooch has always suffered from bad allergies, with constant ear infections, and so she decided to take him to the vet when he was eight months old to get to the root of the issue.
Unfortunately, as previously reported by Edinburgh Live, this appointment was scheduled during a time of Covid restrictions, and so Lucy wasn't allowed in the room with Kingston while he was having his ears cleaned out. From this point onwards, he has point blank refused to let any vets touch him.
