Fishing hook becomes lodged in hungry dog's throat: 'Real challenge,' said veterinary surgeon
Fox News
A dog named Betsy in the U.K. recently swallowed a fishing line, including the hook — and needed surgical veterinary care to remove the object safely from her throat. Here are more details.
Veterinary surgeon Matthew Lloyd was able to "expertly remove the line and sharp hook" without causing any additional damage to the animal. "Dogs are great companions while fishing, but they are often attracted by shiny lures and bait." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
The incident required specialist equipment, according to SWNS.
