A Doberman had to have five golf balls removed from his stomach in an emergency operation - and some of them may have been trapped inside him for more than six months.
Worried owner Graham Saysell, 54, rushed Zac to the vets the day after he collapsed at home last month.
Mr Saysell had no idea the balls were there until he was shown an X-ray.

Reminds me of our dog that we have right now. He had been acting sickly for several days. He wouldn’t eat. My daughter took him for a run in the desert. He stopped, obviously needing to do some business. He went near a cactus and seemed to be rubbing his rear on the cactus. She went over to him and took a closer look. He had a long string/rope/something-like thing about a foot long hanging from his rear. She started looking around for some sticks or something to use to pull the whatever-it-was from the dog’s rear. Anywho, she found some sticks and pulled the ick out. It was a pair of tights belonging to one of our other girls. LOL Daughter did not bring them home to be washed. And puppy-dog felt much better afterward and resumed eating once again. Dogs eat the darnedest things.
I think your Doberman has become a zombie. It may go after your brain next.

From what unfortunate breed is your doberman taking that brain/committing cannibalism? ;-)
Dogs do love golf balls and...tennis balls. We always tried to keep those away from our lab. I’m so glad this guy is OK... they have no sense and just want to play. :)
