Stevens Point, WI—Dog lovers know that anything dropped on the floor or left on the dinner table is fair game. So are shoes, gloves, toys, and, for some dogs, even remote controls and furniture make for good gnawing.

But for one Wisconsin pup named Tucker, his habit of stealing food would eventually reveal him as a diamond thief. According to this video, 10-year-old Tucker gobbled a Popsicle, stick and all, from his owner’s granddaughter. Whether it was the stick or the shock of swallowing a whole frozen block of ice, the dog promptly vomited it back up.

But Tucker’s tummy troubles continued even after the ice pop came back, and the next day when owner Lois Matykowski went to clean up another mess, she made an amazing discovery: her engagement ring, lost five years ago. At the time, she tells WAOW-TV, she had searched high and low for the missing ring, to no avail. She was devastated by its loss, she said, not just because of the intrinsic value but because of its emotional value as well. She and her husband had just upgraded it after 20 years of marriage—and unfortunately it wasn’t even insured yet when it disappeared.

Enter the doggie diamond thief. Tucker obviously had swallowed the ring at some point, and Matykowski’s veterinarian theorizes the Popsicle stick may have dislodged it. Further x-rays of Tucker’s digestive tract revealed no more hidden treasures, and Matykowski is just thrilled to have her ring back, even if it did mean a stained carpet in the process.

“My friends are all jealous. Now they all want a dog that throws up diamonds,” she joked.

But in reality, Tucker is one very lucky mutt. Removing foreign objects from a pet’s digestive system can be costly at best—and if not caught immediately can even be fatal. Always be aware of objects your pets could chew and put them out of reach, especially around the holidays when there are many more decorations and new temptations around. And it’s not just dogs, either—plenty of cats have a yen for eating inedible objects, and even pets that have never shown an interest in chewing before have been known to suddenly take a liking to something new.
