Help! It's stuck!

It seems like it never fails, just when we all think we can close the clinic on time clients walk in at the last minute with animals that need immediate attention and extensive treatment.  This always seems to happen on Friday evenings when everyone has plans and is itching to get off work.  Just this Friday we had a client call at the last minute to say he was bringing his dog to the clinic because he had a bone stuck in his mouth.  We all imagined that the dog had lodged a bone in the back of his mouth and was choking.  When the owner arrived with his dog we quickly realized that the dog was in a totally different predicament than we had imagined.  The owner had given the dog a stuffed shin bone to chew on.  The dog clearly enjoyed his treat a little too much.  He had worked so hard to lick the filling from the bone that he somehow worked the bone over his lower jaw and even over his lower canines.  The bone was really stuck.  The sight was quite hilarious, but the dog was clearly in distress.  He clawed frantically at the bone, but it wouldn't budge.  The dog was sedated and the veterinarian went to work on trying to remove the bone.  He slipped a strand of wire saw underneath the bone and proceeded to saw through.  The bone was so tight that the wire saw was starting to cut the dog's skin.  The veterinarian went to the clinic's storage room, rummaged around, and came back with a pair of bolt cutters.  He placed them at the end of the bone and clamped down.  With one cut, the bone snapped off and went flying across the room.  The vet laughed and said, "Nothing like an easy and humorous case to end the day."
