Cane toads are TOUGH

A cane toad has survived after being eaten by a dog and spending 40 minutes in the animal's stomach. The super toad was eventually vomited up by the dog and hopped away shaken but seemingly unharmed.

"I went to feed the dogs some left over pies and pasties,'' Mr Crews said. "I threw them on the grass and as I did I noticed a cane toad. Bella saw it and thought it was one of the pies. She swallowed it whole.''

"She vomited a lot of pies and pasties but nothing else came up. Then they gave her another needle and she spewed up the cane toad.''

The toad is being kept at the animal hospital where staff have named it Spew.
