Bad Doggie Mauls Elvis' Favorite Bear

This really shouldn't be funny, because Elvis Presley's Steiff bear was worth about $75,000, according to a Yahoo.com news feature. But I have to admit, being a dog owner myself, I can see how something like this might happen and it sort of made me smile. I'm sure the shredded bear that once belonged to Elvis was much like this early bear I photographed at the Smithsonian a couple of years ago.
