A bulldog who found a bag of screws ended up having to have six removed from her stomach.

Maggie managed to sneak into a cupboard and open the bag before scoffing them.

Thankfully her owners, who live in Stoke on Trent, acted fast and got her to the vets before the screws made their way into her intestines.

She underwent surgery and vet, Hannah Brooks said she was lucky to escape her ordeal relatively unscathed, but issued a warning for people to leave such items out of reach of pets.
