Honorable Mention

A big toy for the big boy
Hercules was a six-month-old, 73-lb male English mastiff who presented with a firm object visible and protruding from his left flank. Radiographs revealed an 11-inch inflexible rubber-coated arrow that belonged to the six-year-old boy in their home. The arrow was wedged pretty firmly in the abdomen and extended from the stomach through the pylorus and into the duodenum. The arrow was removed through a gastrotomy incision. Today, Hercules is a 195-lb healthy boy.
