SANTA FE, N.M.—A veterinarian helped save the life of an ailing New Mexico dog after discovering the source of the pup’s pain—a 6-inch long, 2-inch wide stuffed polar bear.
Santa Fe Animal Humane officials told KRQE-TV in Albuquerque that the bear was discovered in the dog’s stomach during surgery.
