A recent incident in New York City has captured the attention of pet lovers everywhere. A 13-year-old Jack Russell terrier, named Jack, found himself in a precarious situation after swallowing a staggering 111 pennies. This unexpected turn of events led to an emergency visit to a Manhattan veterinarian, where the dog underwent a two-hour surgery to remove the coins. The procedure was successful, and Jack’s owner, Tim Kelleher, expressed relief that his beloved companion has fully recovered. The incident serves as a reminder of the unexpected challenges that pet owners may face and the importance of prompt veterinary care in such situations.
The zinc in pennies can be deadly for dogs so the surgery was important. Glad he made it.

Wonder whether it was the pennies or the bagel that made him sick? (smile)
