The chain and collar were immediately missed and search made for them.

For several days the dog was ill and refused food.

Finally the gamekeeper saw the end of the chain hanging from the dog's anus, and taking hold of it, he drew out a yard of chain with links one inch long, with a cross bar at the end two inches in length; the dog soon recovered.

The collar was never found, and had apparently been digested or previously passed.
Fear of robbery has often led to the swallowing of money or jewelry.
Vaillant, the celebrated doctor and antiquarian, after a captivity of four months in Algiers, was pursued by Tunis pirates, and swallowed 15 medals of gold; shortly after arriving at Lyons he passed them all at stool.

Fournier and Duret published the history of a galley slave at Brest in whose stomach were found 52 pieces of money, their combined weight being one pound, 10 1/4 ounces.
