'I had to cancel Christmas after my dog made off with glazed ham and ate it all' A dog owner had his Christmas ruined after his pet stole his glazed ham and wolfed it down - leaving him with nothing to have for his Christmas dinner.
Luke Vandore-Mackay said he had spent hours carefully preparing a 3.5kg joint of gammon to have on Christmas Day, and was excited to serve it to his family before his springer spaniel, Huck, managed to steal the meat and ate around three-quarters of it behind his owner's back, breaking an expensive plate in the process.
Luke, from Dalwood, Devon, shared the exploits of his misbehaving hound on X - formerly known as Twitter - back in 2019 when the incident occurred, much to the amusement of his followers who expressed little sympathy for Luke's predicament.
The dog spent the night farting on me and needing urgent toilet breaks in the rain but seems essentially fine and not dead of too much ham."
He added: "I am sleeping in the kitchen with the stupid dog in case he dies from too much ham because I love that thieving imbecile.
