Dog Ate Mobile Phone
A Turkish petrol attendant who lost his mobile phone dialled the number to discover it had been eaten by his dog.
The man, from the province of Konya, could not believe his ears when his dog's stomach started ringing. The dog had picked up the Nokia phone and swallowed it when his owner wasn't looking, reports the Anadolu news agency.
The man thought a customer must have stolen the phone as he filled up their car with petrol.
"I'm just glad my phone wasn't stolen after all," he said, adding that nature's course ensured he was reunited with his Nokia the next day.

I can see the dog eating the phone, but passing it?! Am I the only one who finds that hard to swallow (pun intended ;D) ?

I had a few doubts about that part, too! But there are some very tiny micro phones available. I'm also wondering if he used the phone afterwards . . . .

We actually sell a Panasonic G51U cell phone at Centennial that is about 3 inches tall from the top of the antenna to the bottom of the phone and 2 inches wide. It's so cute! ;D Actually a pretty good phone too! BTW If any of you see a new commercial for Centennial wireless on television advertising 1000 minutes and flip/camera phones blah blah blah... that commercial was shot in our store. I was there that day. ;D Almost all their commercials are shot in our store... I was almost in the last two but quickly declined... (repeatedly)...

Hmm lol.... And I was concerned when Chesca ate a large portion of a thin rubber ball and that took 30days of poop watch to pass thank goodness it was hot pink in color.. Can't imagine how easy I would feel about waitting for a phone lol,, but the intestines are strong as long as there isn't any sharp edges would think the dog would be fine. Thanks for shareing
