A Scots dog nearly chocked to death after her tongue was punctured by a twig in a freak accident during a walk.
Sprocker Lola was quickly rushed to a vets in Livingston after the hidden injury caused her tongue to swell so much she could barely breathe.
The four-year-old pet was drooling from the side of her mouth as she tried to catch a breath but the vets initially could not find the cause of the injury.
