‘He had the whole turkey in his mouth and he was not letting go. I chased him around the field but gave up and left as he was not letting go,’ she added. A few Christmases ago, another dog managed to eat his family’s entire turkey – before passing out in a food-induced coma.
Dog Bubba snuck into the kitchen and stole the entire Christmas turkey, which had been left on the kitchen counter. According to her owners, Bubba left just a tiny scrap of the turkey breast for the family of three to enjoy, because she is very kind and considerate.
As penance for her crimes, Bubba was put on a diet in the New Year. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk. For more stories like this, check our news page. Arrow MORE: What are the Orange marches Queen Elizabeth referred to as ‘silly business’?.
