Golden Retriever Swallows Rock Resulting In 5k Surgery, Redditors Laugh In Retrospect

Going to the vet is never easy for anyone involved. The face of your dog who thinks you're going on a walk when you start approaching your vet's clinic falling is a painful sight to most owners. But sometimes, it's necessary. One dog belonging to Reddit user u/spirurulina, found out the hard way what the vet's office is all about after swallowing a rock resulting in a five thousand dollar surgery.

Look, life happens. If you spend all of your time micromanaging what your dog is sticking their nose into, you may never know a moment of peace. All we as pet owners can do is take the necessary precautions to protect ourselves financially, ie get you some pet insurance, and watch from a distance as our babies explore any and everything on their daily walks. u/spirurulina has definitely got the right idea, not only did they poke fun at this absurd price of their doggo's surgery by mounting the 5 thousand dollar rock in question, on a fancy plaque. But they also shared it on Reddit for all of us to enjoy and laugh at!
