    I'd suggest that the dogs this is being done to are very very very very small dogs?

    My golden retriever (Millie) hates going to the vet to get her teeth done - anything else she's remarkably calm but she hates the vet having a go at her teeth.

    In California, wealthy pet owners are responsible for more dogs and cats wearing braces, than humans wear in the whole of New York state

    A heap of mobile phones is interesting though. At some point the heat they generate would force the pile to go critical and explode. Especially if they are a long way from a base station. It would make a bit of a racket if they all rang together too.
