My dog really did eat my homework: Labrador has to have nails removed from its stomach after swallowing schoolgirl's project

Payton Moody, 13, had made a volcano using sweets for science class

Labrador Reggie knocked it over and devoured the school project

Dog has to be rushed to hospital to have more than 50 nails removed

It is the oldest excuse in the book, told by fibbing school children for generations, but for one teenage girl the dog really did eat her homework - and it nearly killed it



Payton Moody, 13, from Englewood, Colorado, had just finished off her sweet-covered volcano for her eight grade science project when her pet ate it.

Unfortunately for her dog Reggie, the feast had been put together using more than 50 metal straight pins, and chocolate which is toxic to dogs.
