Duggie, the VERY Chocolate Lab!

Posted on by

Fleet Dog Walking Chocolate Lab

Duggie, the chocolate Labrador from Birmingham took his description too literally when he turned a deaf ear to all the pre- Easter warnings and he put himself in a life threatening situation by gorging himself on seven Easter Eggs!

The four and a half year old dog belonging to Claudia Davis had sneaked into her son’s bedroom and stolen the Easter fare leaving nothing but the silver paper wrappings.

Fortunately Claudia is a manager at a vet’s practice in Nuneaton and realised the potentially serious consequences of her dog’s crime. She rushed Duggie to the vet where he was given an injection to induce vomiting and then given plenty of fluids to flush out the dangerous toxins.

Claudia admitted that she should have been more vigilant as Duggie is well known for his sweet tooth. Last year he snaffled a packet of hot cross buns and currants are also dangerous for dogs!

Luckily Duggie suffered no ill effects from his Easter feasting and hopefully his antics will remind other owners to remain alert at all times when it comes to forbidden foods!

Magazine editor launches modern search for a lost dog

When the editor of Harpers Bazaar lost her dog walking in the remote Scottish Highlands, she chose a very modern method to try to locate him.

Justine Picardie's cocker spaniel, Bill

Now the Twittersphere has exploded to help Justine Picardie find her cocker spaniel Bill, who went missing whilst the pair walked through deep snow on her husband Philip Astor’s sprawling Tillypronie estate.

Despite the fact that the grouse shooting estate lays nestled in Aberdeenshire countryside, hundreds of users including several famous figures responded to a heartfelt plea posted on the social networking website.

Model Sophie Dahl, who has more than 23,000 followers, wrote: “My dear friend @JPicardie lost her dog Bill in Scotland this w/e, if you want to help find him please go to her blog.”
