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.

Most Dobies are a par four...must have been a long dog leg par five.

My brother in law is a dog handler for the local sheriff. Day of his dogs graduation from training he ate his leash and had to have an emergency vet visit. Not the impression BIL wanted to leave on graduation day, but the vet said that he has german shepards in all the time for similar issues.

That dog doesn’t look too bright, either. Eating golf balls kinda’ confirms he’s a brick or two shy.

I’m so glad he is OK. Poor little dog. Must have felt just terrible.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

That’s what happens when you don’t have enough home invaders for your Dobie to eat.

They’ll still eat something.

Reminds me of a black lab we had when I was a kid. It quit eating and got skinny. The vet had to do surgery for a stomach obstruction. The vet said you won’t believe this but we found an whole mop head in the stomach. I’m talking the big yarn type, not the little square sponge type.

They’re supposed to be fairly smart

Not until the 5th one did he start to feel bad.. I mean, it’s like hitting yourself on the head.. If it hurts you stop... right?

Two of my favorite movies:

"The Doberman Gang"
"They Only Kill Their Masters" (with James Garner...)

Amazing. If you were a human being needing surgery in Britain, you would have to wait six months.

For a minute I thought it was a story about Zer0’s caddy who happened to have a name Doberman.

On that note, has anyone ever seen Zer0’s golf score?

LMAO! Beat me to it!

I thought a dearth of home invaders was considered just cause for the Disapproving Doberman look. ;-)
