Karen Woolley of Thrumpton, Nottinghamshire, England, couldn't find her diamond ring she had taken off while she bathed the night before. Their four-month-old puppy Barney was a suspect. So Woolley turned to modern technology to find it.
Barney is such a small dog that the ring wouldn't pass naturally, and he underwent surgery to remove it. Woolley now stores her ring in a drawer when she isn't wearing it. Link -via Arbroath
"My husband Jonathan and I were searching everywhere, and then he had the idea of using the metal detector.
"We put Barney on the floor and ran the metal detector over him and he started to bleep."
The ring that Barney had swallowed had been given to Mrs Woolley by her grandmother.
"It was her engagement ring," said Mrs Woolley, who is setting up a bed-and-breakfast at her home in Thrumpton. "She's 104 in two weeks' time. It's gold and has three big diamonds, so it is probably worth a lot, but it's also very precious sentimentally."

A good rule of thumb when you have a young dog is to assume that anything smaller than a dog will end up inside a dog.
