On Friday, the young chap had to rush to Cavendish Mall after his dog ate his tooth. He placed his filler tooth next to him the night before, but unfortunately, his pet needed a snack.

Abrahams visited a nearby pharmacy and bought an emergency cosmetic denture kit. He got the filling tooth for R180.

The youngster was excited to mend his smile and join his friends at Rocking The Daisies for a fun weekend. Abrahams was sponsored by Crocs and could not wait to witness all the festivities:
