Shocking Moment Woman Loses Her Diamond Engagement Ring But Later Realizes Her Dog Swallowed It
A diamond engagement ring can disappear in seconds, but this one came back with a very unexpected twist. Elayna Rattenbury, a 38-year-old from Worcester, England, thought her ring was gone for good after she left it on the bedside table and woke up to find it missing.
At first, she feared someone had broken in, but a torn box of tissues on the floor pointed to a very different culprit. Her Labrador, Stevie, had slipped into the bedroom and swallowed the ring, turning a simple missing-jewelry panic into a full-blown vet visit and a waiting game.
What happened next was messy, stressful, and strangely lucky. Read on.
38-year-old Elayna Rattenbury from Worcester, UK realized who the culprit was when she noticed a box of tissues torn on the floor
"Therefore, the only solution was to allow nature to take its course and let the ring pass through Stevie and out the other end," she added.
Her beloved Labrador – Stevie – who sneaked inside the bedroom was responsible for all of this
However, it turned out that retrieving the ring from Stevie's stomach was much more difficult than Elayna and her husband had anticipated. After the dog went outside, they used a metal detector to look for it, but it still took them four days to eventually find it.

"My husband, Dave, even bought a metal detector to try to find it, and then, thankfully, on day four, it finally appeared," the woman said. She also added that the ring "needed a good soak and washing."
