Greedy dog glues his mouth shut after searching for food in owner's rubbish bin

A greedy dog glued his mouth shut after rifling through his owner's rubbish bin in search for snacks. The cocker spaniel puppy, named Bleu, just couldn't help himself after watching owner Cali Coulson throw all sorts of 'treats' into the trash.

However, he learned a valuable lesson to stay away from the rubbish bin after chewing through a tube of superglue and landing himself at the vets. The 20-weeks-old pup had to be sedated so vets could assess the back of his throat and airways to ensure no glue had been swallowed. He was given swabs soaked in olive oil to gently dissolve all the glue from his lips, teeth and tongue, allowing him to open his mouth again.
