Dog Mauls Elvis Teddy Bear

LONDON -- At a tourist attraction called Wookey Hole Caves in western England, Barney, a Doberman pinscher guard dog, briefly went berserk, running amok among a collection of teddy bears, including a 1909 German Steiff bear called Mabel reputed to have belonged to Elvis Presley.

A spokesman said . .

"It's a bit ironic, really. A German dog destroying a German bear."
