Unexpectedly for everyone, the Weimaraner dog, deciding that something very tasty was in front of him, swallowed a stone worth 4000 pounds.
After that, he had to undergo surgery and not just one, reports Wales Online.
One can only imagine the faces of the owners, before whose eyes flashed a comfortable life.
21-year-old Shannon Stone - Milo's owner explained the reason for such behavior of the dog. Everything is very banal - the dog still feels like a little puppy and pulls everything into his mouth. Once in the fall, Milo began to behave strangely and it was decided to take him to the vet.
Doctors decided to perform an urgent operation, after which they informed Stone's parents that the dog had a stone removed from the intestines.
After investigation, it became clear that the dog had swallowed the stone while playing.
The operation had a bad effect on the health of the pet, so he underwent another one.
The operation was not cheap - £4000 and when doctors asked whether they were ready to say goodbye to the money, the answer was unequivocal:
"We were faced with a choice: either we have to come to the clinic and put him to sleep, or pay 4000 pounds for the second operation. There is nothing to think about.
He is only four years old, his life has just begun, and he needs to be saved," said Stone. The surgery was successful and soon Milo came home. He feels well, but is unhappy with wearing the collar and restrictions on active play.
The owners also had to hold an open fundraiser for Milo's treatment. But it was worth it.
