A family were stunned to find their pet pug had 50 hairbands lodged its stomach after they took her to the vet because of strange behaviour.
Owner Victoria Northwood, from Sherbert, Dorset, noticed her two-year-old dog, Ham, was a lot quieter than usual and decided to call the local vet.
After the vets found something 'strange looking in Ham's tummy, they performed surgery on her and found 200g of hairbands lodged in her gut.
The bands were removed and Ham, named after West Ham United FC, was back causing mischief and barking at strangers passing the house just like before the ordeal.
