Dobermann Barney was looking after the rare Steiff bear, named Mabel, which had been loaned for an exhibition at Wookey Hole Caves near Wells, Somerset.

The dog ripped the head off the bear and attacked scores of other teddies. Barney's owner could only suggest that the bear had a rogue scent on it - or that Barney had become jealous of it. - Click Here for the Full Story

Who Doesn't Love Virgins?
PR reports: The instrument swapping indie rock trio Gliss returns to the U.S. with their debut full-length album inspired by their time on the road with Billy Corgan, Editors and more.
