This is Loki, a 3 month old puppy who chewed a stuffy toy to pieces.  Loki swallowed a leg of the toy with a squeaker still inside to leg.  It became lodged in his intestine, where he could not eat or pass anything, and became very sick and in danger of passing if the leg of the toy was not removed.  Gracie Bella’s Hope jumped in helping with the surgery.  The leg of the toy was removed and Loki is now a happy puppy again with his family.
