National Geographic Wild Premiers “My Dog Ate What?”

Have you ever worried that your dog has eaten something he really, really shouldn’t have? Like a thong? Or an engagement ring?
In a new three-part series premiering on National Geographic Wild, “My Dog Ate What?” explores the sometimes dangerous and shocking items dogs digest. The first episode, “Glass, Glue, and Rocks,” looks at the case of Lola, a labradoodle, whose family realizes that she has ingested underwear after examining her vomit. As if the underwear incident weren’t enough, Lola’s owners later find bloody paw prints after a gorging incident with some tasty brownies from a broken glass dish. Luckily for Lola, after a trip to the vet for X-rays and surgery, there is a twist to the case — the underwear and socks in Lola’s stomach shielded her digestive system from the shattered glass ingested with the brownies … and saved her life!
And then there’s Luciano, a 130-pound Rottweiler (photo, above) who could be renamed Lucky Luciano. This loyal and gentle dog has a strong appetite that has gotten him into some trouble with his owners, Deedee, a Realtor, and Chris, a documentary photojournalist…especially when he ate Deedee’s engagement ring. An x-ray confirmed that Luciano had eaten the ring but then it was Deedee’s job to get the ring back for her wedding by searching through many of Luciano’s “deposits.”
