Seen on YouTube: A Pit Bull Ate My Engagement Ring!
An Indian Rocks Beach veterinarian describes how he was able to help a couple after their pit bull puppy swallowed the woman's engagement ring.
In this video we found on YouTube, a local veterinarian describes how he was able to help a pit bull — and maybe a marriage — after the puppy swallowed an engagement ring.
In the video posted earlier this month, Dr. Al Paredes of Sun-Surf Animal Hospital in Indian Rocks Beach describes how a man brought him his pit bull puppy after he said it swallowed his fiancée's engagement ring.
Paredes said he was able to induce vomiting and get the ring out without surgery. He even displays an X-ray of the ring inside the dog's stomach.

"The dog was pretty happy and the owner was pretty happy," Paredes said in the video clip.
