Pet owners have issued a warning to fellow dog walkers after a puppy nearly choked to death, having eaten a sausage covered in nails.

The owners heard their dog choking at the back of their home in the Newmains, Wishaw area, before it coughed up the boobytrapped food.

Thankfully, the dog survived, however there are now fears for other pets in the local area.

Friend of the owners Alexandra Bagnall shared the photo of the sausage in the Lost Dogs Glasgow Facebook page, and said: "They heard their puppy choking out their back this morning only to find that it coughed this up, a sausage with nails all over it.

"Anyone in the Newmains/Wishaw area be careful with your dogs at the minute because I don’t want it happening to anyone else, the consequences could have been a lot worse if they didn’t retrieve it from the puppy’s throat.

"It would be appreciated if you could share this to get the word around, whoever the f*** does things like this is one evil b*****d.

Since being published, the post has been shared hundreds of times on Facebook, as dog owners try to warn others following the incident.
