A distraught family are having to stump up nearly £7,000 for their dog 's life saving surgery after he swallowed an entire rock.
Milo, a weimaraner, started vomiting and producing blood to the concern of his owners.
They took him to hospital on October 23, and Shannon Stone, from Porth in the Rhondda, said the vet asked if it was possible the four-year-old pooch might have eaten something he couldn't tolerate.
