A DOG'S LIFE

A dog which drank a potentially lethal amount of anti-freeze has been saved by a dose of vodka and "tonic".
German Shepherd Teddy wolfed down the poisonous fluid after finding it in the boot of a car he was travelling in.
Fortunately, his owner Kate Sheppard is a veterinary nurse and realised the danger he was in.
The Daily Mail says she rushed him to the vet's where she works and found that the only remedy was ethanol.
But the substance - a concentrated form of alcohol - was not available at the practice so they had to find an alternative.
On advice from a vet, she set Teddy up on a drip containing vodka and a "tonic" of salt water and essential vitamins and minerals.
A day later, the 18-month-old pooch woke up with a hangover, having consumed around a quarter of a pint of vodka, but otherwise no lasting after-effects.
"I was so relieved when we found out there was no damage," said Ms Sheppard, 37.
"Anti-freeze is really sweet and dogs love it, but it is lethal."
