Chester has ended up on the operating table twice in six weeks after scoffing down a plastic frog and toy cow.<\/p>\n<p>The one-year-old with the seemingly insatiable appetite had stolen the objects both times, while his owners have been left stunned with the X-rays showing them lodged in his stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Marion Stribling and Neale Clark would have been facing four-figure bills if they did not have pet insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Clark told the Cambridge News: &quot;Chester is doing well, he was a bit wobbly and sorry for himself the day after the operation but he is recovering very quickly now.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He added that both of the toys swallowed belonged to the same animal.<\/p>\n<p>This just highlights how important it is for pet owners to be vigilant at all times, unless they like the thought of having a dog that squeaks.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801288388-ADNFCR\"
