This is Dallas. She was spotted in a field with a cheese ball jar stuck on her head. After a two-day search effort, Dallas was found and treated for dehydration and ticks before going to a foster home to recover. And yes, the cheese ball company is covering her vet bills. 14/10 for all

A flashlight shines on Dallas, who stands in a corn field at night with a large, empty plastic jar around caught around her head. Dallas splays out inside a crate in the back of a car. The empty plastic jar is still around her head, but she has been rescued. a smiling person, Dallas' foster mom, sits with her inside a home.

Cheese. Balls. Are. Evil. (But kudos to the cheese ball folks for paying for the pup’s recovery.) Stick to tennis balls, Dallas. 👍👍

The cheeseballs were made by Bickel’s who are part of Hanover Foods. Thought it might have been Utz cheese balls, similar looking jar (Utz is out of Hanover PA). Not part of Hanover Foods.
