The two-year-old German shepherd and Old English Sheepdog mix is lovingly called by her owner ‘Poppy The Destroyer.’ It seems there’s nothing that can hold her down. She’s like Houdini and can open locked doors, jump over baby gates, take off window screens, destroy cat door flaps, and her latest – eat through door mail slots, making large openings to stick her head through.

“She’d basically ripped off the entire letter box and had eaten her way through the front door,” Lewis Hall told the Wales Online. “Her head was just poking out staring at me. She had a really excited look on her face like ‘look mam, look what I’ve done.’

The pet owner had gone shopping after dropping off her youngest child at daycare and was looking forward to a relaxing day. Yet the plans to sit back and relax were out the door as soon as the woman realized the costly damage the pooch made.

“Coming home and seeing your dog hanging through your front door is just surreal,” said the surprised owner. “I can laugh about it now but at the time I was in shock. The first thing I thought was ‘oh my God I’ve been burgled.’”

There’s nothing to be done now, and all the woman can do is replace the door, which will set her back financially.

Lewis Hall was in the Territorial Army for 12 years and suffers from alopecia, a problem with the immune system which can often be related to stress. Even though Poppy and her path of destruction can cause lots of stress, the amount of love and laughter she gives her owner is immeasurable.

There is an online fundraiser set up to help cover the costs of a new door and alleviate the economic stress this last stunt is costing the pet owner. Any additional funds will be donated to Woofles, an animal rescue in Tredegar.

If you would like to help not only this family but other pets in need, consider making a donation.

According to the Kent Online, Matthew Winslade planned to take his dog for a nice walk in the woods near Faversham, but he never expected that upon arrival the dog would need emergency surgery instead of a nice relaxing walk.

Winslade placed Monty in the back of his car and threw the dog’s 3 ft. red leash next to the pet. It seems that as the pet owner drove to the woods, the young dog got hungry and ate the leash. When the pet owner parked and got ready to start the walk, he opened the car door and found Monty but no leash, only metal clippings. Winslade knew the leash was sitting in his dog’s stomach.

Even though Monty appeared normal and in no pain, his owner knew he had to rush the pet to a vet clinic. X-rays later revealed the content of the dog’s stomach contained the missing leash, and right there and then, the mischievous pet was prepped for surgery.

Pet owners know that went traveling with pets it is always a good idea to have a leash handy. In case of a car accident, the leash can help secure your pet and prevent him or her from taking off running, but if your pet is a chewer, maybe keeping the leash away from your dog might be best.

Monty made a full recovery and is as good as new. He’s back to his usual self getting into trouble and chewing things he is not supposed to chew.
