PEABODY, Massachusetts - A newlywed couple can now begin to enjoy their honeymoon 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.
