A greedy dog was saved by vets after scoffing down an entire kebab and nearly piercing his heart with an 11-inch skewer. Cockapoo Rolo was 'close to death' when scans showed the sharp object was lodged beneath his ribs and edging closer to his vital organs. Vets believe the skewer would have killed him if it wasn't removed soon enough.
Owner Joanne Ogden 'prepared for the worst' when vets took her pooch in. Fortunately, they managed to remove the skewer after a delicate two-hour operation.
Joanne said: “It was a shock to see the skewer so close to his heart on the scans. I prepared myself for the worst because of where the stick was and how risky surgery was going to be.
