“We knew she ate the odd hair band as we had noticed them coming out the other end, but nothing prepared us for the amount they found in there,” Northwood told the BBC.

Ham hasn’t fully recovered from surgery yet, but according to Newton Clarke Veterinary Surgery’s Facebook post, the pug is at home in Dorset and starting to cause good trouble again.

“We were really shocked that this could happen and so grateful to the vets for their vigilance and for listening to us when we went to them with a hunch that all was not well,” Northwood added. “We are keeping a much closer eye on her now — it is such a relief that she is okay.”
