QUIRKY WORLD ... Dog almost gone: That takes the (choc) biscuits

Britain:  A dog which tucked into a box of Christmas chocolates while its owner was out almost died.

Bichon Frise Faith rifled through presents kept in a spare room when her owners were out and found a large packet of dark mint chocolates.

When owner Anne-Marie Smith returned to her Glasgow home, she found the 3-year-old dog had been sick after eating 27 chocolates and took her to a vet. Faith was put on a drip at the PDSA pet hospital and recovered after spending the night with vets.
