Puppy survives the cutting edge

A PUPPY has bounced back to health just days after swallowing a kitchen knife the length of his body.

Jake, a 12-week-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross, was taken to the vet when he began vomiting and trying to keep his body in a straight line.

X-rays showed why the puppy was so reluctant to curl up a seven-inch knife was running through his body, with the plastic handle at the base of his pelvis and the metal point at the top of his throat.
