SURGERY SAVES CENT-SWALLOWING DOG

It's been a while since we had a money-eating story, so here goes. It's an account of a pooch that swallowed over 100 pennies and nearly died. -Editor

Penny Pooch A Jack Russell terrier, while lacking in common sense, was brimming with common cents.

The beloved pet pooch inhaled a mini-mint of 111 pennies behind its Manhattan owner’s back, and veterinarians had to rescue the ailing dog after its sudden change in diet.

Doctors at BluePearl Veterinary Partners, working methodically on 13-year-old Jack, removed all the coins from the penny-popping pooch’s insides during a two-hour operation.

Pooches pennies The coins were fished out five at a time, said Jack’s owner, Tim Kelleher. The Wall Street worker said he knew something was wrong last Friday when Jack began vomiting in their home.

The dog grew progressively worse over 24 hours after ingesting the coin collection while licking up crumbs from a leftover bagel.
