A belly full of small change caused a big problem for this Jack Russell who had to be operated on after slurping up 111 pennies.
Jack jogs the streets of New York daily and usually only eats the best holistic food, but he's got a voracious appetite and is always licking things off the floor, said his owner Tim Kelleher.
It was after knocking over a jar of pennies while going for a few crumbs of bagel that the pampered pooch chomped up the collection of coppers.
Dr Suliman Al-Ghazlat at BluePearl Veterinary Partners in New York had to use a camera attached to a net to fish 111 coins out of the 13-year-old's stomach.
Scooping up five at a time, the procedure took more than two hours. But letting the coins pass could have killed Jack because pennies made after 1982 contain toxic zinc.
The day the long-legged, broken-coat terrier ate the pennies, Mr Kelleher had left a sack with a few bagel crumbs on his desk at home in Manhattan.
Jack pounced on the leftovers, but in so doing Jack knocked over a jar of pennies.
As he licked the crumbs off the floor, he slurped up the pennies too.
