Rubber Duck Finally Removed From Dog

From MSN Xtra News, New Zeland ...

A rubber duck sat in a dog's stomach for five years before being removed by Swedish vets last week, a local newspaper said ...

Google News is a wonderful thing ;-) I've got some more duck-related gems to post over the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled.

Update: Al Disley writes ...

Here's the original of that story you posted...

Summary: young dog eats rubber duck, owner advised will pass through the natural way, dog ill 5 years later, intact but now blackened rubber duck removed in a $2000 operation, owner comments that it must have been a good quality rubber duck and plans to keep it as an heirloom.

More press

We've had a couple more mentions, in the local press this time.

Lucy Lynch of the Coventry Evening Telegraph tell us at that Warwick wings it into the top five, and includes a quote from me, as well as quotes from a Warwick University spokesman, sociology student Helen Woolston and Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. Our web address is notably absent though.

Meanwhile the Wandsworth Guardian reports that Roehampton doesn’t duck the issue of wildlife, and quotes someone from Roehampton who seems most disappointed that they're no longer number one! While they do include our web address, they manage to get it wrong.

We're also told we've had a mention in York student newspaper Vision. Their website is somewhat out of date, however, so I've no idea if they printed our address correctly ;-)

The new layout is live!

The recent media attention we've recieved has prompted us to get on and finished with the new layout for the site that we've had on the back-burner for several months now. So, with DuckDensity.org.uk looking all spruced up, we still need your help with duck counts for universities across the country, those we're already listing and those we're not. Get counting!
