A Jack Russell has been fed a diet of banana sandwiches to dislodge a fish hook it swallowed from its stomach.
Candy went fishing with her owner Elwyn Thomas but as he cast-off she jumped up taking the bait hook, line and sinker.
She was rushed to vet Richard Gibson in Llanelli and an x-ray showed the two inch (5cm) steel hook stuck inside her.
Rather than operate he prescribed a diet of banana sandwiches to let nature take its course and two days later the problem was solved.
Mr Thomas's wife Sylvia said: "After an x-ray the vet advised us to let nature take its course, and sure enough, two days later Candy passed it.
"She proudly brought it to the back door to show us."
