That is really bizzare. I wonder what it was that made him eat the rocks? But he is really lucky that he did not need surgery. Oh my, I just love that face!!!!

The important thing is he made a full recovery. I hope the owner knows where he had access to those rocks and makes sure it doesn't happen again.

any animal deserves this award I am glad Harley is okay now also dogs eating rocks isn't that unusal although they where both much bigger dogs My grandma's neighbor's black lab Tux he used to come over to visit and he would get treats but he liked to pick up large rocks and suck on them it was the same with my grandma's black lab Kacy. On the other side my grandma had neighbor's who had boston terriers named Lucy and Betsy and those two liked to suck on smaller rocks ones known as pebbles that were small enough for them to swallow or choke on I wonder why so many dogs have this strange attraction and addiction to rocks and pebbles whether they are big or small.
