A 12-week-old Bichon Frise cross puppy was forced to undergo emergency surgery after swallowing 20 coins from its owner's purse.
Vet charity the PDSA said the owner of Daisy, a Bichon Frise cross, became concerned after she started vomiting and had stopped eating.
Daisy was examined, the PDSA said, and vets could see her stomach was causing her pain, raising suspicions of a blockage, so she was sedated and X-rayed.
X-ray images showed the animal had swallowed a number of coins - 13 1ps, three 5ps, two 20ps and two £1 coins.
Daisy's owner, a mother-of-two from Derby named Ivana, said: "I couldn't believe it when PDSA rang to tell me Daisy had swallowed so many coins.
"My purse had been missing and we'd searched high and low for it, not thinking it was Daisy who was the culprit who ran off with it.
"I had no idea a puppy would even eat this sort of thing and we were all beside ourselves with worry and so scared we might lose her.
"My four-year-old daughter is best friends with Daisy and she was very upset."
The PDSA said the operation was a success and Daisy was able to go home with painkillers and antibiotics the following day.
Vet nurse Sally Frith, who works at Derby PDSA Pet Hospital, said Daisy had broken a “new record”.
“We couldn't believe the number of coins she'd managed to eat, especially for such a tiny puppy,” Sally said.
"The coins had been causing a blockage which, if left, could have been fatal so it's a good job her owner brought her into PDSA when she did.
"Daisy has been back for check-ups and we're pleased she's recovering and healing well."
Earlier this year The Mirror reported on another pooch who ate things he shouldn’t have - including his owner’s wedding ring.
Owner Shyler Brianne Kraus was subsequently forced to spend three and a half days "mushing" her dog's waste in search for her missing ring.
Shyler, who works from home, was in the midst of an important Zoom call when her dog, Finn, found the piece of jewellery and swallowed it.
She said: "Usually my working from home consists of him still getting whatever attention he wants but since this was such an important meeting, I wasn’t doting on him like I normally would.
"Halfway through the meeting I could hear him playing with something metallic because I could hear the little ting sounds from his teeth and nails.
"I’m not sure how I knew but in the moment I just knew it was my wedding ring.
"He did what any rational-thinking puppy would do -eat the most valuable item in my possession in order to teach me a lesson.
"I left my wedding ring on my bedside table, a mistake I no longer make, and he was able to hop up onto my bed and snatched it.
"Kind of a 'I’ll show her! She can’t work when I want to play'."
Seconds after Shyler's meeting ended, Finn wandered into the room and sat behind her impatiently waiting for her to start playing with him.
After an unsuccessful search for her wedding ring, she ended up rushing Finn to the vets to get an X-ray.
Despite being fed a "bunch of high-fibre food" at the vets, Finn did not make any 'offerings', and Shyler was told to go home and examine his poo until her rings shows up.
"Thursday night: no ring. Friday morning: no ring. Friday midday: no ring," said Shyler, from Decatur, Illinoi.
"We brought him back to the vets office for another X-ray to be safe and to schedule a 'just in case' X-ray for Monday if he hadn’t produced it over the weekend.
"All weekend long, I mushed poo pile after poo pile. I’ve never been so grateful to have a mask to wear and still my dog’s stomach remained my grossest jewellery box.
