Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Poor Dog Sacked: Avondale dog chews up Super Bowl tickets Carrie Watters The Arizona Republic Jan. 26, 2008 03:16 PM Sometimes Alpo just doesn't cut it. Buddy, a 3-year-old Labrador retriever opted for high-end snacks - two Super Bowl XLII tickets. Face value: $900 each. The mishap occurred Wednesday when Chris Gallagher requested that a courier leave the anticipated package under the doormat of his Avondale home. The courier instead slipped the envelope under the front door. Buddy accepted delivery. He didn't sign, but he licked, mauled, chewed and swallowed portions of the coveted tickets. They weren't his first victims. The black lab likes sunglasses, shoes and footballs too. But the tickets go down as Buddy's most expensive chew toy, the remains emblazoned with the Vince Lombardi Trophy scattered across the living room floor. When Gallagher walked in that night, Buddy zipped out the doggy door. The dog would remain in the back yard for two nights afterward. "He's a troublemaker," Gallagher said. "But he looks at you with those big eyes and you can't be mad for long." Plus, Gallagher has gotten assurances from the seller that the tickets, which he'd gotten for friends, can be replaced. Buddy was all tongue and friendly licks on Saturday, the mayhem created three days earlier long forgotten. But the chowhound got his fill of the Super Bowl. He won't be allowed near a TV on game day, Gallagher said. http://www.azcentral.com/sports/supe....html#comments Why does the poor dog get punished its just being a dog he should have glued the slot closed ! |

| Hahaha! I saw that on the news and had to laugh! Good thing they were able to be pieced together enough to be replaced. and my reaction? $900 a ticket??? On the news I heard some people were leaving last night from a private airport on Long Island for Phoenix and the Super Bowl. Price of the flight, tickets, and hotel? $7,000.

| They are mischievious... but we couldn't live without our little K-9 friends, could we???!!! I had one eat a winning lottery ticket once, long story short... The clerk at the convenience store remembered us buying the ticket, vouched for us, and we still got the $500.00 payoff!!! Used the money toward my wedding gown.
