Think of the Dental Bills!



Meet Harley, who is in the running for this year's oddest veterinary claim, sponsored by VPI (Veterinary Pet Insurance). Harley not only ate 100 rocks, he pooped them out sequentially!

His competition includes Chico the Chihuahua who was grabbed by a hungry owl and taken aloft and Eddy the cat who landed on a hot wood stove while chasing a fly.

You can vote for your favorite between now and September 20 here. The award, named "The Hambone" takes its name from a dog, who ate an entire ham while trapped inside a refrigerator!

By the way, Harley ingested small rocks and was able to pass them naturally (with the help of some medicine), thus avoiding surgery!

One more little factoid about VPI, they gave free pet insurance to all the search and rescue dogs who worked on the World Trade Center site.
