The owner was heard saying, as he was leaving with his dog, “ . . . and doctor, keep the change.”

The dog’s name should be Buck-Eleven.

Probably 100 more than it would take to kill a dog or a child if they were completely digested. Are pennies really useful anymore?

No more danger of a copper deficiency!
To: nickcarraway
Since 1983 pennies have been made with a thin coat of copper over zinc. If the copper coating has been damaged or scratched and the zinc exposed, the Zinc will react with the stomach acid and the animal will experience heavy metal poisoning. One zinc penny can kill a small Jack Russell Terrier. If the politicians wanted to do something for the children, they could start making pennies out of something a little less toxic.

When the vet told the owner that the dog was sick because he had swallowed 111 pennies he said “That makes a lot of sense!”.
