Barney the guard dog went berserk at a teddy bear exhibition in England and ripped the stuffing out of Elvis Presley's beloved bear Mabel, exhibitors said on Thursday. Wookey Hole Caves, a popular holiday destination in Somerset, southern England, was drawing children with its display of 1,000 precious teddy bears, including Mabel, beloved bear of the King of Rock and Roll.

But, said General Manager Daniel Medley, it all went horribly wrong.

The collection was so valuable that the insurance company insisted the exhibitors guard it with dogs. Barney, a sleek and handsome Dobermann, was dutifully dispatched."The security guard was doing his normal patrols at the site. He let the dog in, and the dog went on a rampage," Medley told Reuters.

"He started with Mabel, took a very large chunk out of Mabel almost severing her head, and then went mad. It took about 20 minutes to bring him out."...(more about the horror @ link)

1 day it is Mel, next day Barney. sigh. never ending, isn't it?

Must be an absence of prurient curiosity lately.:evilfrown:

We need to do our own work and leave the animals out of it.

a million dollars worth of bears. :wow:

Because bears, as you should know by now, are godless killing machines.

I have, and it's not a pretty sight.

our decorating style is fluff and fur.

on the mantle. Our standard poodle can stand up and just get his nose to the edge of the mantle, not enough to actually grab one. All through the Christmas season he sits and whines, wanting to play with the bears. After the holidays are over, I put the bears away with the rest of the Christmas stuff till next year. I just went into the LR and asked the dog "Where are the bears?" He looked at the mantel, stood up and sniffed and sat down with a look like "Well, I don't know."
