Yeah he did, and it was almost cut short. In 1995, he went to the vet because he was dehyrdrated and not eating. The vet did an X-Ray and turns out he managed to swallow a fish hook and it got hooked in his intestine. My mom almost put him down because the vet gave him about a 20% chance of making it and it was going to cost around $800 to do the surgery regardless if he lived or not. But like VR WHAT said, he was like a member of the family, and went ahead and had the surgery. Well I would say it was a success, he lived 8 more years.
