Spider ‘kills’ pet dog after paratrooper accidentally brings it home from Afghanistan
When Rodney Griffiths came home on leave from Afghanistan, he thought he was leaving the perils of the desert behind.
But a little bit of danger had hitched a ride back with him.
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.
A camel spider? Not a true spider and, coincidentally, not venomous. This is my favourite bit:
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.
Ha ha ha ha ha. You couldn’t make it up.
Better yet, as you can see from this delightful picture showing the concerned dog owner, the “traps” they’ve put out include mousetraps.
Good one! I’m sure that’ll be brilliantly effective!
Facepalm.
