Charlie’s Christmas

Charlie, a five-month-old Yorkshire Terrier, began struggling to breathe after swallowing a Christmas star from a decorated tree. He was rushed to Plymouth’s PDSA Pet Aid centre, where vet Robert Newcombe removed the decoration with forceps. Newcombe said he got a shock when he realised what was causing the blockage. “The last thing I expected to see on the X-ray was a star shining back at me,” the vet said. Owner Felicity Clifford, from Plympton, Devon, realised something was wrong when Charlie began gagging. But the dog has now fully recovered from its ordeal.
