Dog Eats Owner's $5,000 Wedding Ring

Tina Burlett thought someone had broken into her house and stolen her custom-made, $5,000 wedding ring, so she called the police.

But the key suspect for her grandmother was none other than the family pooch.

And X-rays proved the grandmother right as the valuable ring was spotted inside the belly of pit bull, Missy.

"I couldn't believe it", Burlett says. "I didn't think so at the time, but it's funny now".

She said it made some sense since Missy has been caught gnawing on VCRs, electric blankets and even her diamond earrings.

Dr. Linda Fung of the Country Creek Animal Hospital said it was quite common with dogs so she just gave Missy some peroxide and the ring intact came out intact.
