We had a Cairn that was prone to stuff like that, she would eat just about anything. Like a pipe, in one end out the other. She would eat rope dog toys and it would still be rope when it reappeared. : )
Wow, can you imagine if that passed naturally and the owner didn't clean up after... some detectorist would have a heck of a coin spill to find. Still... eww.
Yes I could, quite easily...Back in the 70's at a halloween party, showing off at the bobbing for apples dunk tank..., I gulped down and swallowed an entire apple whole without taking a bite out of it...So a whole fistful of coins would impose no gastronomic trouble for me, and I could pass them with no medical intervention...I'm a human Thumblers Tumbler...I'm still spitting out wheat pennies encased in bazooka bubblegum that I swallowed when I was a kid..
However, I am impressed and interested in possibly buying this amazing coin dog?! Imagine! having a whole litter of specialized coin eating dogs?! Just turn them all out on a totter or sportsfields and let them go to work scarfing up coins!! Its possible! Its been done with fish birds so why not dogs! Like having a whole pack of Canine Coin Cormorants!?
Imagine a pack of Golden Retrievers crossed with Doberman Penny Pinchers! Who needs a detector or a 401k? I woudnt mind at all having a pack of dogs that vomited up or crapped out coins and gold rings all over the carpet! .It would certainly be more economically advantagious than the dog I got now, completely worthless and a massive expense!...The Wife even buys him seasonal costumes!
So yeah, having a pack of Coin Crapping and Gold Puking dogs? I'm there! the mess on the carpet aint my problem, I'm a renter...I do remember passing that apple I swallowed though!....I was in labor for 16hrs!...
Sometimes people crave foods because their body tells them so..animals too..perhaps a mineral deficieny or something of that nature..or maybe they just smelled good..if it was a pig it would be an authentic piggy bank..
