And not much on teddy bears either huh?  

England should ban dogs now, they are dangerous.

LONDON (Aug. 2) - 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.

Who the hell uses a dog to guard a stuffed animal museum?!?

I'm sure there's a British joke just waiting to be uncorked here, but I'm still fuzzy without coffee this morning.

Search is your friend

I looked through 3 pages of OClub and didnt see anything relating to dogs, teddy bears or Elvis in the titles.  Search takes forever on dialup, and even then only works if I pick the right keyword.  

I cant help it if AOL passes stuff like this off as NEW news.
