PEABODY, Massachusetts - A newlywed couple can now begin to enjoy theirhoneymoon in Hawaii, happy in the knowledge that their
yellow Labrador retriever, Liza, had returned their
wedding ring back home. Mark Meltz said he´d left the
ring on a counter so he´d remember to give it to his
brother for Monday´s wedding. When he didn´t see it,
he assumed that his bride-to-be, Hillary, had taken
it. But when the ring was nowhere to be found, Meltz
took the dog to the vet where an X-ray confirmed the
ring was inside Liza. At the afternoon wedding, Meltz
presented Hillary with the X-ray film instead of the
ring where fortunately, she broke into laughter
instead of tears. Meltz´s parents agreed to keep an
eye on Liza, expecting her to give up the ring in
the traditional doggy way. After being fed a heaping
portion of dog treats, Liza tossed her cookies, and
the ring, out onto the Meltzes´ rug.
