Well at least he wasn't a hound dog

Imagine your an Elvis memorabilia collector. And you've acquired the childhood teddy bear of the king. And you've decided that such an object of note needs to be displayed at a museum, so you choose the Wookie Hole Caves museum, which from the website appears to be a lot like The House on the Rock. Now posterity can enjoy this wonderful piece of music history.

Or the guard dog can use it for a chew toy, which is what actually happened. Click here for story. The dog, 6-year-old Doberman pinscher named Barney ripped the head off a brown stuffed bear leaving fluffy stuffing and bits of bears' limbs and heads on the museum floor.

This is no surprise to me. Our dog loves to eat stuffed animals, particularly ones that have been receiving attention which he feels should be directed at him. I am also not surprised at the reaction of English aristocrat Benjamin Slade, the owner of the bear. It seems that when he spoke with the General Manager of the museum he was "not very pleased at all."

    Yikes! I imagine that the picture of the bear in the article is "pre-attack"?

    I was struck by the comment at the end of the article that the security guard chased the dog and figure that whole chase scene was straight out of a Benny Hill show, complete with music.
