First assuming it was a crab, the Scotsman was stunned to find a fishing line hanging from Luna’s mouth. The latter accidentally bit a 4 cm hook, which sank into her jaw.

Surgery was required to remove the hook

Darren tried to remove the metal hook from the canine’s lower lip. In vain. When he realized that his gesture could cause more harm than good to Luna by tearing her mouth, the man decided to take her urgently to a veterinary clinic. Before that, a passer-by helped the duo by cutting the fishing line about three feet, with a Swiss army knife. “ She would put her paw on it and try to free it, which could have done more damage,Darren said.
