Dog Destroys Elvis' Teddy Bear at Museum
By Associated Press
Wed Aug 2, 10:07 PM

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.

The bear with Elvis connections was owned by English aristocrat Benjamin Slade, who bought it at an Elvis memorabilia auction in Memphis, Tenn., and had loaned it to the museum.

"I've spoken to the bear's owner and he is not very pleased at all," Medley said.

A security guard at the museum, Greg West, said he spent several minutes chasing Barney before wrestling the dog to the ground.

Now look at how much all of you have learned. At least we know not to leave a Dobermann to guard those vicious Teddys. That dog knows he just saved the world from the invading little devils. Hooray for Dobermanns!

We all had a good laugh at work about this. Then they proceeded to make fun of everthing Myles has torn up or eaten. They all asked if he ripped up stuff animals.

The guestion is not if he tore up stuffies....it should be is he a Dobermann. Cathy has pictures of Bubbles and the penquin Sunday. Everytime he peed he took the penquin to the pond to pee. I saw the remains of the penquin today. All over the place. Another good place to NOT have a Dobermann guard would be a lingerie depart. Ask Frodo about that one. Don't you just love them. I heard that poor old Bernie has been retired to a farm. Hope they have sheep.

Laughed my a$$ off. Mary

Dogs don't know about beginnings, and they don't speculate on matters that occurred before their time.
Dogs also don't know-or at least don't accept-the concept of death.
With no concept of beginnings or endings, dogs probably don't know that for people, having a dog as a life companion provides a streak of light between two eternities of darkness
