Dog’s teeth glued together after biting fast food menu

Dog owner, Kimberley Fisher has trained her Scottish Terrier, Cymeline, to fetch any post that hits the doormat and kindly bring it to her.

It is reported that clever Cymeline’s jaw was glued together for more than half an hour from the high gloss finish that was on a fast food menu.

Ms Fisher told the Telegraph “I’ve taught him to bring it to me without damaging it and then I give him a treat. He could not set down the Roosters menu when he dropped the rest of the post. He bought me this menu but it had stuck his jaws together”.

She described that the high-gloss, paper menu had turned to paste and was stuck between his teeth. This started to distress the dog, as he pawed his mouth trying to free it but within seconds the menu had glued his mouth closed.

The Telegraph reports that the fast food menu offered “mouthwatering results” for anybody who tries their chicken. Ms Fisher was unable to release the menu and after trying to get it out with a tooth pick, decided to call for an emergency appointment at the vets.

She said ”They took about 40 minutes to get this stuff out. They were very good, unsicking the menu and releasing his jaws”.

The vet, Ben Bennett, said ”It was really unusual, I’ve never seen anything like it before in 20 years. The cardboard had gone like paper mache in his mouth, and where his canine teeth fit together closely, it had got wrapped round the bottom teeth and jammed them together.”

Mr Bennett told the Telegraph that he had to pick away with a fine pick until enough of the paper had been removed for there to be some movement in the dog’s jaw.

A spokesperson for the Fast food restaurant Roosters, said the printer followed all the regulations and that this was the first time something like this had happened in 5 years.
