GLASGOW, UK— A Staffordshire bull terrier puppy named Macie is lucky to be alive after an extremely close encounter with a kitchen knife.
Sky News reports that owner Irene Paisley first noticed the 12-week-old pup making a squeaking sound and thought she’d swallowed a toy. She then became sick and started choking, despite no sign of a toy.
When they got to the vet, blood was coming out of Macie’s nose. Her owner’s worries quickly turned to shock, however, after it was discovered the pup had a knife in her gut.
Paisley believes Macie might have gotten got the knife from the dishwasher and swallowed it handle-first. The handle passed through her stomach and into the intestines. Fortunately, no internal organs were pierced, which would have been the case if the blade had gone in first.
After emergency surgery, Macie was back to normal. Paisley says she was bouncing around the morning after the procedure as if nothing had happened.
