"Normally dogs aren't interested in cars," Eva Voelkl, Munich police spokesperson, said. "But if we see any behaving in that way, we'll be sure to get them."

Puppies are so cute when they're teething.

My brother does the same thing when he's drunk.

The best dog we ever had went after cars (well, the tires). Buster was a red heeler. We found him one day, lying by the side of the house, covered in blood. He had survived a coyote attack (and I suspect killed a few of them while he was at it, he killed a black lab that attacked a boy once). Tiny little legs, but pure muscle.

Overprotective as hell, but perfect for living in the country. He tried to put out fireworks with his mouth, stood guard over babies, and once bit the UPS guy when he opened our front door when my mother was in the shower and my little sister was sitting alone in the living room.

Canine revenge

First thing I thought of after I read your post. Why? Who knows!

Sidi your dog deserves a hero tag:P

EaglesBabyEagles actually, I was discussing that very book with someone on the Mariner's forum a moment ago. She was traumatized in elementary by the dogs dying.

One of the best children's books ever. It really hit home for me because I had to hunt to put food on the table as a child (I never liked it) and both my parents fled from Missouri/"Missoura" as soon as they could. Most of my family is still down there. My mother was talking about trying to go back down to the Ozarks for the last couple months of her life, but it's sort of fallen through.

I submitted this 5 months ago with a funnier headline

Why do you get 10 dogs in a pack, but only 8 cars?

I was gonna submit this with a crappier headline

A giger counter couldn't measure my indifference...

"the leafy Nymphenburg district"

I don't know what to say about the leafy Nymphenburg district.

"Why do you get 10 dogs in a pack, but only 8 cars"

Am I just tired, or was that hilarious?

felixrex99 doesn't surprise me, considering geiger counters are unable to measure indifference (or difference, for that matter).

Couldn't measure my height with a scale!

Fnord, its actually six cars, not eight.

Doesn't anyone think there is anything weird about packs of dogs attacking inanimate objects like cars?

It sounds like a training mission. People are next.

"the leafy Nymphenburg district"

I don't know what to say about the leafy Nymphenburg district.

With a name like Nymphenburg, it's got to be good.

Ok, yeah, I don't know what to say about it either.

I'm with you Beerden; I think the war is on. I think I'll have to tread lightly around my pack of 6 in the backyard tonight-- maybe bring them some steak or something.

CUJO!

Damn, those cars must be made of alumimum foil or the dogs must be some sort of radioactive mutants. Tore off bumpers and damaged a wheel bearing?

the leafy Nymphenburg district

Is that something like the "cheeky J-Lo district"?

Total BS, teeth are not harder than steel.

"You see Mr insurance claim agent, My car was attacked by dogs, not in any sort of accident whatsoever."

Riiiiight.

I'm calling bullshiat on the cat who says his wheel bearing was damaged by a dog.

Prolly try to sue the dog for damages.

You know how much this will cost in dog dollars?

Over here, we shoot them.

He told the Abendzeitung newspaper the damage to his car alone had totalled about 1 000 (about R9 000).

1 000?
Oh, R9 000! Well that clears things up.

This is one of those storys where you look at the comments and say "I got nothing either..."

One man said the dogs had chewed off the bumper of his wife's Volkswagen bus and also caused damage to the wheel bearing. He told the Abendzeitung newspaper the damage to his car alone had totalled about 1 000 (about R9 000).

How the heck does a dog damage a wheel bearing? I mean, you can bang on a hub with a 5-lb hammer without damaging a wheel bearing, and you can drive 50mph over potholes and not damage a wheel bearing. Did this dog come from Krypton or something? WTF?! I say bullshiat, the guy is trying to use that incident to take care of repairs needed after neglecting to properly maintain his car.

How the heck does a dog damage a wheel bearing?

It's a VW camper. You can make bits fall off them with harsh language.

Chasing parked cars?

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" THUD!

Werewolves. That is all.

RobW: hahahaha not quite. A wheel bearing is contained within a carrier, usually cast iron in construction and it would be damn near impossible for you, me or a dog to destroy one without the use of tools.

That is utter BS. Must be something lost in the translation, like a hubcap, or something.

WnP

Clearly these dogs pose more of a threat to U.S. interest than Saddam.

*hopefully started a flame war. Ducks and hide.

"What a pack of dogs does when they catch parked cars."

First looking at this headline I was thinking the "does" should be "do". In retrospect, the subject is "pack of dogs", "pack" being singular which would necesitate "does". But "dogs" is plural, which would call for "do". Grammar checkers seem to be happy with both iterations.

In the end, "does" does seem like the correct usage for this sentence.

Thought I'd share.

Nice dupe. Nice really old dupe. The story's from February and hasn't changed much since we saw it then. What is this? Slashdot?

Anyhow, I was thinking the wheel bearings on VW's are pretty small and perhaps Germans use flavored wheel bearing grease. I've seen some German porn, and let me tell you those Germans are into some strange stuff; flavored wheel bearing grease seems tame and almost reasonable in comparison to German porn.

So anyway, maybe the dog managed to pull the grease cap off of it, everyone knows dogs love wheel bearing grease. The dog could have licked all the yummy grease out of the wheel bearing and then driven the car around a bit, which would have worn out the bearing without the grease.

So there you have it.

Well, I think that they were just trying to get some revenge on the cars for previously lost brethren.

Or maybe they were chasers that suddenly realized that cars are easier to catch when they're not moving. There could be quite a few reasons for this.

Like, maybe a group of smaller dogs hired them to do it... or, better yet, dared them.

"The bugger tore off my bumper and damaged my hubcap! And umm... my wheel bearing, too! And my transmission... it don't shift so well from 2nd to 1st anymore... oh, and he pissed in the oil, too, so I'll need an oil change as well."

RobW:
Having been the owner of an '87 Westphalia camper, I can, in fact concur with that statement.

and wheelbearing grease tastes like chicken - dog would prefer steak.

Maybe the dogs were drunk.
(1)They're in Germany.
(2)Dogs like beer.

I can picture these dogs sitting around playing cards with pieces of the said cars as 'trophies' on the wall. makes me smile.

While dogs are the subject, I went out of my way to get a cute stuffed puppy, (this wasn't the cheap stuff from wal-mart, we're talking $$ for this thing) for my ex gf- she got pissed that it wasn't a REAL dog- but the kicker is that she lives in apt that DOESN'T ALLOW PETS...stupid biatch.

She's stupid.

"Well, I'm bored. Let's do something. I know, let's chase cars and get off on the exhaust!"
"Naw man, that stuff'll give ya brain damage."
"Brain damgage from car exhaust?"
"Naw, brain damage from getting your head run over by the rear wheel."

Okay, I am a little confused. I submitted this a few months ago with another headline, and it actually was posted. Of course eveyone in the forum proceeded to scream, "Repeat!"...well not actually everyone as only maybe 17 people looked at it. So this makes it the third time this article has been posted. What is up with that? Does this happen a lot? Oh and I like the idea that it might be werewolves, John_H_Rand.

/just wondering

Grammar surrenders

This is an old news story that fark already has archived from the month of February/Early March. I guess the world ran out of funny stories and had to regurgitate this crap about dogs with an autophilia fetish. Oh well..... Duke still sucks.
