Bad Dog!
LONDON -- A guard dog has ripped apart a collection of rare teddy bears, including one once owned by Elvis Presley, during a rampage at a children's museum.
"He just went berserk," said Daniel Medley, general manager of the Wookey Hole Caves near Wells, England, where hundreds of bears were chewed up Tuesday night by the 6-year-old Doberman pinscher named Barney.
Barney ripped the head off a brown stuffed bear once owned by the young Presley during the attack, leaving fluffy stuffing and bits of bears' limbs and heads on the museum floor. The bear, named Mabel, was made in 1909 by the German manufacturer Steiff.
The collection, valued at more than $900,000, included a red bear made by Farnell in 1910 and a Bobby Bruin made by Merrythought in 1936.
Whatever you do, don't tell Chrissie.

O baby let me chew…your Teddy Bear.
Put a chain around my neck, lead me anywhere.
Oh, let me chew…your Teddy Bear.
I don’t wanna chew a tiger, ‘cause tigers taste too rough.
I don’t wanna chew a lion, ‘cause lions taste like they’re all full of stuff!
I apologize to the King. I couldn't resist!

Stuff* happens when you're asleep and the dog gets bored.
Any bets that there's a rent-a-cop for rent in London.
