Border collie gets 4 inch stick stuck in it's eye
- 5 years ago
A mischievous border collie called Diesel was left five millimetres from death
when he went exploring in a wood -- and ended up with a six-inch stick embedded in his head. The stick went into his eye, narrowly missing his optic nerve - which would have blinded him - and stopped just short of his brain. But a quick-thinking vet gently plucked the wood free, leaving the nine-year-old rogue free to roam another day. Owner Alan Jackson, 53, from Carnwath, South Lanarkshire, said: "We have everything to thank the vet for - Diesel had a very lucky escape."
