An Oklahoma mother and father couldn’t figure out what was happening to their child’s pacifiers until the baby’s grandmother saw the family dog swipe one off a counter.

But when veterinarians at Gentle Care Animal Hospital in Edmond, Oklahoma, went to retrieve the pacifier, they were shocked to find 20 additional ones in Dovey’s stomach.

The Rogers family had brought their Shar Pei into the vet’s office after the dog had slowed down her eating and was vomiting.

When an examination of the vomit literally coughed up the first pacifier, a soon following X-ray showed that the dog had munched on at least seven more. 

The pooch was immediately rushed to surgery by Dr Chris Rispoli. 

In an interview with KFOR-TV, Dr Rispoli said that the pacifiers were ‘too big to go through the GI tract, so we decided we had to open her up and get them out. And they just kept coming out.’
