Karen Woolley of Thrumpton, Nottinghamshire, England, couldn’t find her diamond ring she had taken off while she bathed the night before. Their four-month-old puppy Barney was a suspect. So Woolley turned to modern technology to find it.
“My husband Jonathan and I were searching everywhere, and then he had the idea of using the metal detector.
“We put Barney on the floor and ran the metal detector over him and he started to bleep.”
The ring that Barney had swallowed had been given to Mrs Woolley by her grandmother.
“It was her engagement ring,” said Mrs Woolley, who is setting up a bed-and-breakfast at her home in Thrumpton. “She’s 104 in two weeks’ time. It’s gold and has three big diamonds, so it is probably worth a lot, but it’s also very precious sentimentally.”
Barney is such a small dog that the ring wouldn’t pass naturally, and he underwent surgery to remove it. Woolley now stores her ring in a drawer when she isn’t wearing it. Link -via Arbroath
Here’s a tale of two-year-old chihuahua named Buttercup, who lost her puppy hours after giving birth to it and ended up finding love by adopting two litters of kittens:
The bittersweet tale began two weeks ago when Buttercup gave birth to a puppy who died four hours after birth. Scribner said it broke her heart to see her beloved Buttercup looking so forlorn.
But then Scribner received a call at the hospital about five kittens that had been abandoned during the night in a yard in Surrey. “They were starving. They had been a full night and a full day without food. When we got them they were very weak and meowing,” she said.
Buttercup went straight up to the kittens and started cleaning them. And it wasn’t long before the wee animals latched on.
“She still had milk and she took to these babies right away. She hasn’t left them since and is very protective.”

Customs officials at the Dublin Airport at first thought the x-ray showed a toy dog in the suitcase, but they opened it up and out popped a live puppy! A Bulgarian man on a flight from Madrid was trying to smuggle the young chihuahua.
It is understood the dog was being smuggled in as a gift for someone.
Legally, dogs must have clearance and a health certificate before being brought into the country.
The animal, which Mr Broni said seemed tired but unharmed, was handed over to Department of Agriculture officials where it was placed in quarantine.
The man was not detained, but a file is being compiled on the case. Link -via Unique Daily
Halo Animal Rescue in Phoenix, Arizona confronted a tiny problem. A chihuahua puppy was left an orphan when its mother died in childbirth. Rescue worker Heather Allen called Animal Control and asked if they had any nursing mothers. All they had was a black cat with four kittens.
Knowing that without a mom the baby Chihuahua did not have long to live, Heather introduced the two. She says, “I just kind of just stuck the puppy in with the rest and hoped the mom wouldn’t notice much and she thought that was fine.”
Seven days later the baby Chihuahua, now named Liam, is still alive. Heather says, “She’s doing great, I don’t know if she’ll be litter-trained when she’s done, but she’s doing really well, she’s nursing and seems to be growing and doing great.”

When 2-year-old toddler Nathaniel wandered away from his home, his mother Ashley Teafatiller and fellow searchers frantically looked for him … thankfully the story has a happy ending, and an unlikely hero: Nathaniel’s puppy Stanley who kept him warm (and probably alive) during the cold night:
About 150 searchers spread out look for Nathaniel, who had managed to walk more than a mile away from his home, Lewis County Sheriff Steve Mansfield said.
By 11 p.m., a Toldeo firefighter with a portable infrared scanner spotted a heat signal that turned out to be the boy.
"They think Stanley is what kept him going because it was obviously really cold last night," said Teafatiller. Nathaniel was found laying on the cold ground with Stanley snuggled next to him. During his adventure, the boy stripped off his pants and diaper and was found in only a t-shirt and socks.
