A black Labrador who became known as the "rattling dog" had 13 golf balls removed from its stomach after picking up the white balls "like truffles" when taken for walks on a golf course in Scotland, it was reported Friday.
一隻被稱為「叩叩狗」的黑色拉不拉多,肚子裡的13顆高爾夫球已經被取了出來—牠在被帶到蘇格蘭的一個高爾夫活動時,把小白球當成菌菇給吞了下肚,週五的報導指出。
Owner Chris Morrison had been taking five-year-old Oscar round a golf course in Dunfermline, north of Edinburgh, for several months when he became concerned about a rattling sound emanating from the pet’s stomach.
飼主克里斯.莫里森帶著5歲大的「奧斯卡」到愛丁堡以北的敦佛林的高爾夫球場活動已經有好幾個月了,直到他開始擔心寵物肚子裡發出的叩叩聲。
The vet discovered that 13 balls - each weighing 45 grams - were lodged in his stomach. One of the balls had been there so long it had turned black as it was decomposing.
獸醫在牠的肚子裡發現13顆、每顆45克的小白球。其中一顆因為在肚子裡太久,已經因為(胃酸)分解而呈現黑色。
"He finds golf balls like truffles. He normally brings a few home, but I had no idea he had eaten so many. He’s a black lab so he is a fair size, but to swallow 13 is quite amazing," said Morris.
