An unrefined palate

When Luna, a 7-month-old Bernese mountain dog who had been vomiting and clearly in pain from a distended stomach, arrived at the Corona Animal Emergency Center in Corona, California, on Feb. 16, veterinarians took X-rays that revealed a large buildup in the pup’s gastrointestinal system, and quickly began exploratory abdominal surgery. The L.A. Times reported that among their findings were “24 socks, a scrunchie, two hair ties, a shoe insert, a onesie and multiple pieces of cloth,” for a grand total of 44 foreign objects. The center posted on Instagram that Luna survived and is recovering.
