My ex was looking after a dog for a relativeand left it alone in the kitchen with a cooling deep fat frier. The oil was evidently no longer hot, and the dog pulled the thing on the floor, presumably by the mains cord, and lapped up the entire contents (several litres of oil). She was then discovered looking a little sorry for herself, and was brought outside, and squeezed gently, which made her sick up all this oil. The dog died the next day.
