Our boerboel mastiff pup managed to swallow several scarves, a few socks, and many crayons. Even a tug-toy rope. We watched him like a hawk and kept stuff out of reach, gave him lots of love, exercise, and appropriate chew toys, and it still happened on occasion. Kids leave stuff around. Scarves hang down and get pulled off hooks. It happens. Induced vomiting every single time (except for the crayons- those just added some pizazz to the many “yard ornaments” he’d leave daily) and retrieved everything. I think he finally associated those types of items with vomiting and quit sneaking off with them. A bonus, besides not having to have retrieval surgeries.
This poor Great Dane needs better supervision. There’s no excuse for that many socks disappearing and no one seeing it happen, or noticing and reacting immediately. Unless there’s an all-you-can-eat sock buffet for dogs I’m not aware of in Portland.
I know I am a bad Puppy parent. :(
