WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT: A Perth man out celebrating Australia Day was left horrified after he allegedly found a dead mouse inside his burger.
Bruce Blackburn had ordered sliders and chips from Inglewood's Civic Hotel during a lunch with friends on Friday but was left stunned when he spotted the rodent following three bites into his patty.
