This is probably a stupid question. I know that I have been told that hooks dissolve after a bit. Is that true? I was tying some flies yesterday and am about 95% sure that my puppy got his mouth on one. I saw him chewing on something, got to him right after he swallowed "it", and am missing one sz. 16 black ant. The writing is on the wall folks. All I need now is a third party to appease my girlfriend, who is rather concerned, or someone to tell me to take him to a vet if there are any horror stories out there. I know this has happened to at least one other person...right?
