Brit stranded in France after friend's cheeky dog eats passport

We all know that age-old excuse: 'Sorry, miss, my dog ate my homework!' Unfortunately for one Brit travelling in France, this hit far too close to home. Karl Phillips was left stranded abroad when his friend's 'cheeky' puppy ripped his passport to shreds - eating pages out of it for a 'snack'. Karl had left his passport in a bag on top of a desk in his friend's apartment in Tourrettes, France, where he was staying while he left the building out on April 20.
