My sister's dog (same size and type) swallowed a lacrosse ball that way.
Took surgery to get it out.
I swear!

It’s Lobster Roll night at our local growler station!
I can’t imagine my Bride spoiling this pup, or any other, by sharing...Me? Maybe...but not my Bride...seafood snob that she is...

Dog Finds His Favorite Toy After Family Loses Everything In Australian Fire
It was a tiny miracle
️
It was an unusual reunion, but an emotional one nonetheless.
After returning to their home in Wairewa, Australia, the Zagami family found their property completely destroyed. "It's just bloody devastating … to have everything taken away in one hit," Matt Zagami told ABC Gippsland. "The farm is one thing, but we lost everything in the house — everything." But as it turned out, that wasn't entirely true.
While assessing the damage, the Zagami family’s dog, a golden retriever named OJ, found that his most beloved stuffed toy had remarkably survived the blaze. And the pup couldn’t be happier to be reunited with his best friend. “‘OJ’ returned to his Wairewa home today that was completely destroyed by fire. He found his favorite stuffed toy in the rubble,” Louisa Cheatley, a reporter with 7News Melbourne, tweeted on Tuesday.
Along with OJ's beloved toy, another item to survive the wildfire was Katie Zagami's wedding dress. While the family is grateful for these small silver linings, it hasn't made the recovery process any easier. "Every day we get reminders — every hour we get a reminder of what we lost and what we haven't got anymore, and we have found it really hard to be here and look at it," Zagami said.
According to the town's fire brigade, the Zagamis' house was one of 11 destroyed in Wairewa. Thankfully, the community evacuated in time and there were no lives lost or serious injuries. "The community is rallying together to clean up, recover [and] support each other," the Wairewa Fire Brigade wrote on Facebook.
The stuffed toy is a reminder that a little bit of comfort can go a long way when things look bleakest. Just ask OJ.

Years ago I had a Springer Spaniel that knew the frequency of the rustling foil on the Pepperidge Farm Mint Millano package. He could literally be outside in the back yard and hear when I was trying to sneak one out of the fridge. He'd be in the kitchen looking at me within 3 seconds. It was uncanny.
Back then I didn't know that chocolate could kill a dog. Now, I get ALL the Mint Milanos

!This guy has been pondering the meaning of life often lately, whilst gazing out into the yard. He hasn’t quite gotten his paw on it, but he knows this much: food is involved. Except kale (which, in his opinion, is the handiwork of the devil).
It's not totally officially official yet, but it looks like our puppy was born and we'll be able to pick him up on March 10! We are first on the list for this litter, so unless there are major health issues, look forward to some cute puppy pictures in about 7 weeks.
