Labrador: Let's haze the new bitch. German Shepherd: Jane locked up all the liquor after the great fire of '03 when we hazed the St. Bernards. Labrador: Go check the counter and see if there's anything we can get her to eat. You know candles, oven timers, keys, anything... German Shepherd: Score! There's a bread knife up here. Labrador: There's no way we can get her to eat that. German Shepherd: Follow my lead, this is going to be so cool...

PLANTATION, Florida (AP) -- The veterinarian thought the X-ray was a joke.
Jon-Paul Carew has seen strange items get into the stomachs of dogs before, things like kebab skewers and small utensils. But a 13-inch serrated knife in a 6-month-old puppy?
That was a new one.
"I was just flabbergasted," said Carew, of Imperial Point Animal Hospital in Fort Lauderdale.
The knife was removed this week from Elsie, a Saint Bernard puppy. The dog's owner, Jane Scarola, wrapped it in a towel and put it in a cabinet atop the refrigerator.
"I'm going to frame it and give it to Dr. Carew," Scarola said. "He should hang it. Everybody should know what puppies are capable of putting down their throats."
She thinks one of her six other dogs -- four Saint Bernards, a German shepherd and a Labrador -- somehow got the knife off a counter and it eventually made its way to Elsie.
"She wants to eat everything and anything," Scarola said.
"I Double Dog Dare You..."
