On Christmas Day, Charesse left her 5 m/o pit bull mix behind in her apartment to go spend time with her family. While she was gone, Petey (the dog) ingested a long toilet brush. Charesse wasn't aware of this until she noticed Petey wasn't really eating or drinking and he was losing weight rapidly. 
Charesse rushed him to the ASPCA's animal hospital where he was sent to radiology. The x-ray revealed a long tubular object lodged throughout the length of his abdomen. He went straight to emergency surgery.
Now recovering, Petey is doing well and eating/drinking properly. He is extremely affectionate and did great throughout the whole process. He is safe.
~Okay... How does a dog end up swallowing something almost as long as it is..? That doesn't really make sense to me. Animals are a mystery lol. Glad he's safe <3
