Rottweiler Puppy Eats 8 Golf Balls
Dog Undergoes Surgery To Remove Golf Balls

BOXBORO, Mass. –– An 8-month-old puppy is recovering from surgery after eating eight golf balls, Boston television WCVB reported.

Wally's owners said the Rottweiler pup started acting weird last week. He eventually threw up three golf balls, including one that was wrapped in a sock.

But when the dog still was acting strange, Wally's owners took him to the Boxboro Animal Clinic.

"Lo and behold, there was another five golf balls sitting in there," Veterinarian Stewart Bleck said.

Wally underwent surgery to have the other five balls removed.

Wally's owner Julianne Bonfilio said some friends like to putt around golf balls at their home, but they never noticed that the balls were disappearing.

Bleck estimated that the balls had been in the dog's system for about a week.


I have had 2 dogs and they never tried to eat golf balls. WTF?

Dogs will eat anything if you are not watching.

Every dog should be called knucklehead for the first couple of years.

Rottweilers are some strange beasts.

The ones I've been around are kinda like a three-year-old with a 100 lb. body.

Pretty much anything you have laying around is fair game for use as a toy. I have no problem believing this story.

So, like I was out with Ziggy, my Boxlabweiler mutt, for a day of goofing off and we were making a pit stop by a lake and she ran off into the woods to do her thing, she was weird because she required privacy to crap, kinda funny.  Anyhow she comes back and she was hesitant to get back into the car, but she finally got in and I headed down the road but it soon began to reek like dogcrap in there so i pulled over again and Zig is acting uncomfortable and somewhat distressed and then she pointed her ass towards me and I could see that there was some crap sticking out her ass, and I was like eeeeeeeeeewww....but the dog needed help so I grabbed a roll of papertowels and was going to wipe her doggy bum, but the thing protruding was solid.  I was grossed out further, but anyhow, so I tugged on it and what came out her butt was a 6" long stick about 3/8" in diameter...covered in yesterday's alpo.

I have no idea how it got there.  

Zig lives with my parents now and is hopefully consuming less fiber.
