Dog Okay After Eating Bullets

Oh, he's a pistol, that one! Best wishes for speedy recovery to Benno the dog of Mountain Home, Arkansas. Benno should be fine after having 17 rounds of .308 caliber ammo removed by a veterinarian.

Benno's owner, Larry Brassfield, said it never occurred to him that the dog might get into a bag of bullets by the bed. Of course, Benno has been known to snack on socks, magnets and marbles. He'd managed to snarf down 23 rounds and was taken to the vet after he only vomited up four of them. They were able to remove 17 more and left two in the esophagus, which Benno was allowed to fire on his own.

Mr. Brassfield promises to not leave ammo by the bed anymore and our apologies if you were eating a sandwich while reading this.  DB
