My Story

Toby

May 2009

Location: Omaha, Neb.

Breed: Spaniel

Dennis Bullaro had a round bone left over from a roast and thought he’d let Toby play with it. The spaniel chewed on it and kept it around the house for about two months with no problems, but one day he managed to get it stuck around his front teeth and lower jaw.

“He couldn’t get it off and he started going crazy, squealing and howling,” Dennis says. Dennis thought he could get it off, but Toby got really scared when Dennis tried to grab it. When he did get a hold of it, it wouldn’t budge.

The veterinarian eventually had to anesthetize him and used a regular hacksaw and sawed the bone right off.
