A dog was admitted to a veterinary clinic in Austria at the weekend, barely able to stand on his own four paws and reeking "like a beer hall." Dingo, a three-year-old Labrador weighing 40 kilogram’s (88 pounds), was a pitiful sight when his owner, a hunter, brought him in to the surgery in the Salzkammergut region; the Oberoesterreichische Nachrichten quoted Vet Karl Hofbauer as saying. The dog had dreadful wind and diarrhea and was vomiting a lot," Hofbauer said."When I got him up on the table, it smelt like a distillery." Tests indicated that the dog had a blood alcohol content of 1.6 milligrams per 100 milliliters. But that was not the result of Dingo having one drink too many, the owner insisted. The hungry pooch had stolen and secretly devoured half a kilogram of fresh yeast dough from the kitchen. Alcohol had formed inside his stomach as a result of the fermentation process, leaving poor old Dingo stone drunk.
