Pet’s corner

Please Monty, don’t eat that!

Meet Monty, the 18-month-old Southbank local, who, according to owner Tanya Cheng, is capable of eating literally anything.

Admittedly being an impulse buy for 20-year-old Tanya, who purchased him from Victoria Market last year, Monty has already proven he can handle some pretty unique dishes.

“He eats everything,” said Tanya. “Candles, lead pencils, plastic, tissue paper, anything.”

Tanya even shared a story with Southbank Local News that is slightly inappropriate in nature but which helps to truly symbolise his passion for eating.

“He has eaten a condom, just once,” she revealed. “He actually pooped it out right here in front of everyone.”

“A man walked past and asked ‘is that what I think it is?’ before taking a snap.”

Otherwise Tanya described Monty as “a good dog” and said he has been an effective guard dog protecting her from the dark corner in her Southbank apartment.
