Monty Don, 65, told Twitter of the incident: “Last night Nellie had a very near miss.

“Chasing a stick, she impaled herself on it and speared her throat, missing two arteries by millimetres.

“Thanks to our brilliant vet, working at night, she is fine- if very sorry for herself.

“So please DONT THROW STICKS FOR DOGS.”
