Greedy pet ‘ruins Christmas’ after eating Prestwick family’s ENTIRE roast bird – before collapsing on the floor unable to move
Bubba, a five-year-old Chi Apso, left only a shred of the turkey breast for her family to eat
A GREEDY dog is on a New Year diet after wolfing down turkey meant for three people on Christmas Eve.
A hilarious picture shows the bloated pooch lying on her side, barely able to move, after sneaking into the kitchen and eating the bird.
Bubba, a five-year-old Chi Apso, left only a shred of the turkey breast, which had been wrapped in foil under a dish cloth.
But her owners, from Prestwick, South Ayrshire, managed to save the day by getting relatives to bring round spare turkey.
Owner David Barrett posted the image of a very stuffed Bubba on social media with the caption: “No chance has my dog just scranned the whole turkey for tomorrow.
“There's the culprit she can't move. She’s not moved since she scranned it.”
Speaking today, he said the dog had suffered no long-term effects but was on a strict diet.
He explained: “It was a turkey breast and mum cooked everything and sat it on the bottom tier of a two tier table and put tin foil and a dish cloth over it.
“She just couldn't move. It was pretty big, a whole turkey breast.
“My aunt had two turkeys so we got one of hers.”
The post has since gone viral - amassing almost 10,000 retweets and 24,000 likes on Twitter.
One Twitter user said: “She's the same shape as the turkey, oh my god.”
Meanwhile, another added: “Looks like she’s about to burst.”
