Gorilla Glue Warning

A popular glue does more that just stick -- it grows when it comes in contact with liquid.

So imagine what would happen if it was swallowed. An Oak Harbor pet owner found out first hand, and her dog is lucky to be alive.

On Thursday, Julie Kosmas got to pet her dog Emma Jo for the first time in three days. The black lab is still recovering in an Oak Harbor animal hospital.

She had to undergo surgery after a near-death encounter with a popular glue called "Gorilla Glue."

"When we saw the X-ray it was mind blowing that a dog's stomach could be that big," said Kosmas.

Emma Jo has a knack for knocking things off a counter. That's how she got the Gorilla Glue and swallowed some.

Kosmas knew her dog was in danger. The bottle says to keep away from children and animals. The instructions say get immediate medical attention if swallowed.

What it doesn't say is what would happen.
