When Bailey the retriever went to the veterinary clinic in Corfe Mullen, Dorset, England, the doctor thought he had a tumor. What veterinarian Keith Moore found inside the dog was five golf gloves, ten socks, one stocking, and part of a towel!
Moore believes Bailey must have been eating laundry for years to accumulate such a mass. The dog has fully recovered from surgery and acts like a puppy again. Link -via Arbroath
"Vets obviously do a fair number of foreign object removals but I doubt I will ever see anything like this again in my career.
“Even for us, from a vet’s point of view, it was pretty amazing.
“It was like doing a magic trick. We were just pulling out one sock after another,” he joked.

One of our dogs eats cloth crap. She'll chew parts off of the doggy toys, and will scarf down socks if she finds them when her stomach is upset... you know, how dogs do w/ grass?
Very gross finding a big wad of gooey mess that used to be one of your socks.
This article claims that objects remained in this dog's digestive tract for several years.
How ? Any suggestions ? This sounds like crap to me...no pun intended.
