    How tragic. Do you also think the little dog had an obstruction from the penny? Very sad I hope the animal did not suffer. Interesting about zinc. Can you imagine a child ingesting a penny?

    How tragic! I need to remind my companion about that - he often drops coins out of his jeans pocket onto the floor and LEAVES THEM THERE! So far, so good!

    Don't know for sure, probably not, it's what's in the penny.

    They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon
