A hungry puppy who took a shine to her owner’s engagement ring was found out by an X-ray.

Elayna Rattenbury, 38, feared she had lost her diamond and sapphire ring after it disappeared from her bedside table. And Labrador Stevie, who had just demolished a box of tissues in the room, was the prime suspect. ‘It was a heart-stopping moment,’ said legal director Elayna, of Worcester.

‘I looked at Stevie and thought, “She hasn’t, surely she hasn’t?” But oh yes, she had.’

Create a Barrier to Keep Your Dog Out of the Litterbox. Does your dog go straight for the littler box? He’s not alone, lots of dogs are attracted to kitty litter. Keep your dog from getting into the litter by elevating the box or creating a simple barrier so they can’t get in.

She took the seven-month-old dog to Brentknoll Veterinary Centre and an X-ray soon got to the bottom of it.

‘There was a real sense of relief in knowing that at least the ring was not lost,’ she said.

Elayna Rattenbury, from Worcester, said she was panic-stricken when she realised the precious diamond and sapphire ring had disappeared from her bedside table and ransacked the bedroom in a bid to find it. When that desperate search ended in failure, Elayna began to suspect her pet Stevie, named after Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks, had taken a shine to her sparkler and snaffled it. Sure enough, expert x-rays taken by Brentknoll Veterinary Centre, in Whittington Road, Worcester, confirmed her worst fears ? clearly showing the ring in Stevie?s stomach. — Stevie gobbled up the box of tissues (Picture: SWNS)

The retrieved ring was soaked in hot soapy water and scrubbed for two days before Elayna was ready to wear it again.

‘The problem now was retrieving it from Stevie’s tummy. The vets felt after some investigation that the ring was too far down.

‘So, the only solution was to allow nature to take its course and let the ring pass through Stevie and out the other end.

Meeting your new puppy, kitten or any other pet can be an exciting experience. Your pet, however, has some adjusting to do. New sights, smells and sounds can be overwhelming for the little guy and keeping a calm household is important.

‘I took her home and for the next four days I was rooting through her poo trying to find it.’

Elayna added: ‘My husband Dave bought a metal detector to try to find it and then, thankfully, on day four, it finally appeared. It certainly needed a good soaking and scrubbing.’
