A 3-year-old Great Dane, with a known sock fetish, was taken to his local veterinary clinic with reported stomach problems.

The extent of the problem wasn't apparent until the X-rays showed the contents of his belly.

Dr. Ashely Magee of Dove Lewis Animal Hospital in Oregon said "We opened up his stomach and kept removing sock after sock of all different shapes and sizes".

Dr. Magee entered his x-rays into the annual "They Ate WHAT?" contest at Veterinary Practice News and won the $500 third prize, losing out to a frog who gobbled up 30 rocks and a German short-haired pointer who swallowed a metal shish kabob skewer.

The Great Dane is doing just fine and is home safe and well once again…avoiding all socks in sight.
