For many pet owners, their furry friends are more than just animals. They are a part of the family, and just like any other family member, they bring joy and happiness to their owners’ lives.
One of the simple joys that dogs love is playing with balls. It’s an intuition that brings them great joy and exercise. As a result, when a viral video features a dog playing with a plastic ball, it’s not surprising that it captures the hearts of millions of viewers.
However, not all moments of playtime are innocuous, and sometimes pets get into sticky situations that can be dangerous. For example, in one viral video shared on Twitter, a playful dog accidentally swallowed a small toy ball during a game of fetch.
The concerned vet in the video can be seen trying to squeeze out the ball from the German shepherd’s throat while placing the dog on its back. Finally, after tense moments, she successfully saves the puppy from choking and retrieves the toy. The vet rejoices after the successful attempt.
The video has collected over 230k views, 7k likes, and multiple reactions from people who appreciated the vet’s patience and expertise in handling the situation. Others commented on how dangerous the matter could have been if not attended to carefully. A user commented, “That was amazing. Thank you for saving this dog!!” Another user wrote, “Those toys are way too small for a dog this size!! I have a dog this size as I go through the dog toy box to pitch one out!!”
