Vets have operated on a dog who had become sick after swallowing 28 golf balls.

German shepherd Libby had been coughing up blood after weeks of fetching golf balls at the course where owner Mike Wardrop works.

Mr Wardrop said he had not realised the dog had a secret taste for the balls she found each day at Didsbury Golf Club in Manchester.

Libby is now recovering from the operation to remove them. Mr Wardrop, who works as a bar manager at the club, said: "I've had to buy her two footballs. She can't swallow those."
