A labrador pup has survived after wolfing down a dessert spoon as he tucked into a bread and butter pudding.

Scooby scoffed some of the sweet from his owner’s hand – but quickly turned and chomped the spoon in her other.

Marie, 34, and partner Paul Cooper rushed the seven month-old pooch to Thanet Animal Hospital in Margate, Kent where he underwent a major stomach operation.

‘I couldn’t believe he’d done it and I still can’t quite. He didn’t muck around with teaspoons, he went straight for the big one,’ explained Mr Cooper.



‘He often sits near us when there’s food around and while we were eating bread and butter pudding Marie fed him some from her hand.

‘She was holding the spoon in her other hand and quick as a flash, Scooby went over thinking there might be food there too and took the spoon straight out of her hand.’

Vets tried to remove the spoon with an endoscope but discovered the cutlery was stuck firmly in Scooby’s stomach and had to perform emergency surgery.

Head vet Jill Matthews said: ‘I’ve taken all kinds of foreign objects out of dogs but in 32 years, this is the first time I’ve removed a spoon.’

Wasn't the dessert alone enough for him? Glad to know though that this incident had a happy ending.

Awww, what a sweetie. People talk about baby-proofing their houses, they need to dog-proof their houses too if they have a dog that hasn't been trained well just yet
