Hambone Award Nominees

Each year, VPI looks through more than 1 million claims in search of the most unusual of the bunch to receive the annual VPI Hambone Award. Last years recipient was Lulu, a hungry bulldog that gobbled up 15 pacifiers, a bottle cap, and piece of a basketball! Lulu made a full recovery and went on to star in a Rachael Ray Show segment about the VPI Hambone Award. Voting for this years Hambone Award runs from August 2 through August 15.

Nominees include a boxer that chased and caught a delivery truck, a Labrador that snacked on a beehive and a Jack Russell terrier that had an unfortunate encounter with a carnivorous Australian lizard.
