My dog ate it

Colorado student Payton built a chocolate volcano on a foam base as a school project. Her dog Reggie ate the whole thing and was taken to a veterinary hospital, where x-rays showed 50 pins in the dog's gut. Reggie underwent surgery and has recovered. Payton showed her teacher an x-ray to explain why her assignment wasn't done on time. The science assignment was redone, using glue instead of pins, and handed in for credit. Reggie and Payton received high praise for their first scientific endeavour. "I got an A," said the proud student.
