\"And<\/p>\n

Spider ‘kills’ pet dog after paratrooper accidentally brings it home from Afghanistan<\/a><\/p>\n

When Rodney Griffiths came home on leave from Afghanistan, he thought he was leaving the perils of the desert behind.<\/p>\n

But a little bit of danger had hitched a ride back with him.<\/p>\n

A camel spider has been seen scuttling across the floor of the paratrooper’s home – and is thought to have killed the family’s pet dog Bella.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A camel spider? Not a true spider and, coincidentally, not venomous. This is my favourite bit:<\/p>\n

She has left out traps and plates of raw mince in the bedroom. The meat has been devoured, but so far the spider has managed to escape.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ha ha ha ha ha. You couldn’t make it up.<\/p>\n

Better yet, as you can see from this delightful picture showing the concerned dog owner, the “traps” they’ve put out include mousetraps.<\/p>\n

Good one! I’m sure that’ll be brilliantly effective!<\/p>\n

Facepalm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
