Terrible accidents can happen without warning. In Burton-on-Trent, a town in England, a woman was horrified to find a piece of wood embedded in her dog’s chest.
Molly was having fun chasing a bullet when the accident happened. Her owner, Amy Gaunt , heard her howls of pain. When she rushed out, she found her 17-month-old Labrador seriously injured: the animal’s chest was pierced by a stick.
Distraught, Amy Gaunt immediately transported the victim to a veterinary clinic in nearby Stapenhill. Molly’s life hung by a thread.

The surgery lasted 2 hours
A scanner revealed that the object sank 40 centimeters deep. Fortunately, he missed all the major organs. A 2 hour surgical operation was required to remove it.
