A dog lost both his bark and his bite when a bizarre accident left his jaws glued together. Cymbeline, a Scottish terrier, is trained to pick up the post from the doormat and hand it over to his owner Kimberly Fisher, 41.
But the faithful pet came unstuck when a high gloss finish on a fast food menu stuck his jaws closed for more than half an hour.
Ms Fisher from Colchester, an academic researcher, said Cymbeline had been trained to collect the post without chewing it. "He hates post so I've taught him to bring it to me without damaging it and then I give him a treat."
He brought me this menu but it had stuck his jaws together."It was a big, high gloss paper menu which had turned into a paste - the gum stuck it between his teeth. "He was trying very hard to open his mouth. It was funny as well as sad."
The Roosters fast-food menu, which ironically promises "mouth-watering results" for anyone who tries their chicken, was stuck fast and eventually Ms Fisher was forced to take Cymbeline to the vet.
