Dog Swallows Wiimote (http://kotaku.com/gaming/gaming-pets/dog-swallows-wiimote-302174.php)

http://kotaku.com/assets/resources/2007/09/dog-wii-remote.jpgA family in Loveland, Colorado took their dog in to see the vet after it had started coughing up blood, which according to several popular veterinary web sites is a pretty bad sign. An X-ray revealed a large mass in the dog's stomach, which the family assumed was an old TV remote they'd been letting the pet chew on. Questionable taste in dog toys aside, the vet induced vomiting and bits of an old TV remote did come out, but only bits. There was something else in there...
"The Vet started massaging the dogs belly and it just came flying out of the dog," said Marie Becknell. I knew what it was right away by the color and shape of it. It was my son's video game remote. The dog had swallowed the boy's Nintendo (http://kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo/) Wii remote controller.This dog had swallowed an entire Wiimote (http://kotaku.com/gaming/wiimote/). I know what you're probably thinking. "Wow, that's a pretty talented dog. Can I have its phone number?" No, that's sick, and besides dogs can't talk on the phone. I've tried. Probably just swallow the damn thing. Veterinarian Finds Wii Remote In Family Dog (http://www.funtechtalk.com/veterinarian-finds-wii-remote-in-family-dog/) [Fun Tech Talk - Thanks Dennise!]


Im sure the dog was thinking "Hey, thats a pretty wierd shaped bone (GULP), where did it go?"...

What the hell was the family thinking letting their dog chew on a TV remote anyway? Are they THAT cheap to not get them toys?

[Batmex]

They should send the info & pic to http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com/ :evil:

I like in the story where it says that "according to a few veternary websites, the dog coughing up blood wasn't a good sign".

I know,I figure It would get hung in his throat..........

Hey,If you look closely toward the top right-hand side of the dog's X-Ray and you can see(what I think is) the Wii remote.

What did you initially think? That it was some random dog x-ray? :D

I guess those Japanese Picture manuals now will have to add in that one thing about the picture of a boy feeding his Wiimote to his dog.. (Remember those (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/the-japanese-wii-safety-manual-is-crazy-219119.php)?)

But I sure hope the dog is alright.. and the family has learned a valued lesson.. Never give a TV remote to a dog.. it might mistake it for a Wiimote.

I'm surprised that this dog made it out alive.

This isn't as weird as some might think (at least for me).

When we got the Wii here, my dog would come down and bug us as we were playing.

After a few days was running around as if he had something he wasn't supposed to have. I finally tackled him to find that he had the Wii controller in his mouth! Since we were using it so much, the dog wanted to get our attention by taking it, hiding or retrieving it (take your pick).

Now, we have to keep the Wii controllers in a draw so the dog cant get them.

I'm surprised that it actually got that far down. I mean, isn't that the stomach? And how can a dog swallow something that big? Isn't that impossible?

[tucsoncoyote]

Well if it were a large dog (Say a German Shepard, a Rotweiler or even a Saint Bernard, then swallowning a Wiimote is easy... in fact, when a Rotweiler spots something that is smaller than its mouth, the first thing that comes to mind is one word in a Rotweiler's brain, and that word is... Lunch....
