Barney is an English dog.
Somewhere in Somerset.
The news says that he attacked Mabel, Elvis Presley's teddy bear. Mabel was 97 years old. Sir Benjamin Slade bought Mabel at the price of £40,000 (58.000€)...
What a wonderful world...

it's like an abstract poem, really
haha i read about this today.
The insurance company covering the display of bears insisted on a guard dog to deter people who would possibly steal Elvis's teddy - they took the dog in there, the owner let him off his lead and he went straight for Elvis's bear!
he damaged about 100 teddys, although some only had 'saliva damage'
the guy who loaned the exhibition the Elvis bear was quoted as 'furious'

Gotta love those insurance companies. I love it when lawyers and actuaries tell others how to do their jobs.
I thought this was about B. Sumner. Couldn't figure out why he'd be attacking Elvis's teddy. 
Apparently he's retiring and moving to a farm "where he can chase chickens."

I dont wanna be a doberman Cause dobermans play too rough I dont wanna be a lion cause lions aint the kind You love enough. Just wanna be, your teddy bear.
Well if it's insured, I would personally sleep a whole lot better with $75,000 in the bank than with a teddy bear that apparently smells good to a doberman. 
Good point, well made.D'oh! wrote: Well if it's insured, I would personally sleep a whole lot better with $75,000 in the bank than with a teddy bear that apparently smells good to a doberman.
Good point. Maybe he dipped some meat juice on the bear beforehand?

lol. i was happy to hear about this, thought it to be very funny. i wonder if barney the doberman happened to piss on it after destroying it....not an elvis fan, you see.
reminds me- from the lack of sleep, has anyone here ever called a relative in the middle of the night and asked them to please help them get a turkey bone that was stuck in their ear out and that their st. barnard was stuck under a 2ton pick up truck. i didn't think so. pfft.
