Rollo and his food addiction have cost his owners over €30,000!
Most dog owners will have experienced at least once the moment when their pet has found their way into somewhere they really shouldn’t have been.
If you thought that you’re canine’s foodie habits were bad, then you need to meet Rollo.
Rollo has taken the term ‘bad dog’ to new heights with his apparently insatiable appetite.
The nine-year old chocolate lab has managed to cost his owners over €30,000 in home renovations. Rollo has taught himself to open cupboards it seems. As a result, he has managed to help himself to anything he can find; including jars of mincemeat and cigarettes.
The Daily Mail spoke with Rollo’s owners, Sue and Stewart Kirk, about the damage Rollo has managed to do to their home.
“His owner Sue Kirk, from Sleaford, Lincolnshire, even found him raiding the dishwasher after cracking how to break in there too.”
As if that wasn’t enough, Sue also explained how Rollo has actually jumped on the trampoline in order to get his paws on some apples. He really loves those apples.
“He loves apples, they're his favourite – he'll do anything for an apple.
We have an apple tree in the garden, but there's never any for us to eat because he stands up on his back legs and shakes the tree until the apples fall down.”
They have even compiled a list of all the weird things that Rollo has eaten, which included a Tupperware lid in order to get at 12 chocolate muffins.
When Rollo started eating glass and rat poison the couple knew they needed to put a stop to his habits. So, they decided to remodel their kitchen in efforts to make it dog-proof.
The Kirks, who also have another dog and two guinea pigs, rescued Rollo six years ago. They said they couldn’t imagine giving up, even if he does cause some trouble:
“He causes absolute mayhem—but we love him to pieces.”
We think Rollo sounds delightful, his dedication to his food is actually kind of inspiring. When was the last time you were willing to trampoline just for some healthy and fresh apples?
