Dobe Bites King's Bear

This is just too funny: a guard dog has destroyed a bunch of Teddy bears he was "guarding", including one owned by Elvis.

" "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."

Berserk? My puppies will do that without, so to speak, breaking a sweat.

"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."

Personally I think anyone who has spent $900,000 on stuffed toys needs... a reality check, at the very least. And who documents the provenance of Teddy bears anyway?
