Pit Bull Piggery Thwarts Frisbee Chances
October 2nd, 2008
Frisbee fans worldwide are stunned tonight after reigning Purina Incredible Dog Challenge champion Wallace the pit bull ruined his chances of a second gold medal after swallowing the tip of a spatula.
Wallace, who has amazed Frisbee pundits by steamrolling his way into a sport traditionally dominated by Border Collies, put himself out of action Tuesday morning by wolfing down the end of the kitchen utensil after owner Andrew Yori used it to offer him some cheese.
The piggish pooch was rushed to casualty where he underwent emergency spatula-removal surgery - reportedly one of the most common surgical procedures performed on terriers, the most common being rubber duckie removal.
“It’s classic Wallace,” said Andrew Yori, the dog’s 31-year-old owner from Rochester, Minnesota. “It was like, “Ummm cheese,” then woops! down the hatch.”
Unfortunately for Wallace he’s going to be out of action for a couple of weeks at least - and will most likely be wearing a cone during that time, meaning that even gentle catching practice is out of the question. I suggest he uses that time to develop some self control, because it’s only a matter of time before he swallows an entire damn Frisbee. I’ve seen it happen.
