Diamond dog returns ring after five years

A family dog in the US has coughed up its matriarch's diamond wedding ring five years after it went missing.

Lois Matykowski, of Wisconsin, had given up all hope of finding the missing time piece until her dog Tucker fell ill after eating an icy pole, stick and all.

"He's known in the family to be the food burglar," Mrs Matykowski told WAOW.

The sweet treat soon came back up and two days later, Tucker started vomiting again.

Only this time, inside lay a hidden treasure.

"I look in the paper towel and here is my wedding ring," Mrs Matykowski said.

"I kid you not, my wedding ring was in Tucker's puke!"

The family's vet said the icecream stick may have dislodged the ring.

An X-ray confirmed there were no more valuables lying hidden in Tucker's gut, but Mrs Matykowski said her pup is still the envy of her friends.

"Friends have said, 'I want a dog that throws up diamonds!' Who wouldn't, right?" she said.
