X-ray reveals rubber duck inside terrier 18 months on
A dog has had a £1,000 operation to remove a rubber duck from its gut - 18 months after the bathroom toy vanished.
The owners of Spike the Patterdale terrier were astonished when they took their sick pet to the vet and discovered what had caused the problem.
The duck emerged intact apart from losing its yellow paint
Colin Smith, 52, of Thorner, near Leeds, said: "I was absolutely amazed.
"When we saw it after the operation it was the same duck he swallowed 18 months ago. We assumed he'd chewed it up and it had passed through him."
Mr Smith said he and his wife Lorraine Fenton were relieved to discover what was making their dog so ill, despite the £1,060 cost of the operation.
