Scooby Snack
I worked kennel for a few years. Overnight. I had to call my boss if anything happened to any of the dogs. A little over a year ago, the night of new years day, I did my 10PM hourly check on the dogs, and passed a dachshund who had a little fuzzy red blanket to sleep on. All was well.
I started setting up runs for incoming dogs the next day and passed the doxie again about half an hour later. The blanket was gone except for a few shreds of it around his mouth he was chewing on. Had to call my boss and explain to her that this dog ate his entire bed and needed to go to the vet immediately.
She had just woken up and was so incredulous and grilling me the entire time I was on the phone with her. The dog was fine, they induced vomiting, but this blanket was about the same size as the dog.
The entire time my boss was at the emergency vet I was questioning if that really just happened. That’s how I learned dachshunds are prone to pica. Story credit: Reddit / SagiTsukiko
