People in stitches at dog made to wear Hannibal Lecter mask to stop her eating bugs

A pooch with a habit for "eating grasshoppers like they're skittles" has been made to wear a mask in the garden to save her upset tummy. Olive the cheeky French bulldog took her snacking to the extreme and was left with a poorly stomach after scoffing living bugs in secret.

Owner Megan Lasuzzo, 32, says Olive is her "little Hannibull-dog Lecter" and finds it funny when she's compared to the famous film character. She bought the unusual-looking mask for £10 ($13) on Amazon and says it's usually used by vets and groomers, but does its job to deter the insects away.
