A guard dog who was supposed to be guarding a collection of teddy bears at England’s Wookey Hole Museum instead destroyed a number of the bears, including a 1909 Steiff teddy bear named Mabel once owned by Elvis Presley.
I only point this out for the bad pun in the title and for the fact that “Wookey Hole” sounds like something you’d find in a pornographic Star Wars film.
Dagnabit, you beat me by five minutes with this!
I just want to know who the idiot was that thought it was a good idea to have a dog in there?
Bad dog!
Is “Wookey Hole” Welsh or cockney rhyming slang for something, or was that a sincere attempt at coming up with a name for a museum? I want to make sure I’m laughing for the right reason. Even the picture attribution (“AP Photo/Wookey Hole Caves, Ho)”) was oddly funny.
And anyway, there’s probably a perfectly good explanation for the dog’s rampage. “Mabel” likely smelled of peanut butter and bananas. Who doesn’t like that?
Oh, yeah! Let’s put a dog in a room full of stuffy toys by himself. BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!! What were THEY thinking.
It’s certainly appropriate that the dog was described as going berserk. From this page:
How could I have made an Elvis reference without mentioning Hound Dog? Maybe Barney was getting his revenge.
