Sun gives stuck dog a ‘gruff’ time

Date Published : July 9, 2008
Worth reading for the classic tabloid wordsmithing alone, the Sun newspaper (and numerous other sources) carried a story yesterday about Moses Chan (or “Big Mo” as the Sun called her) a 14 month old Dogue De Bordeaux.
Things it would seem went drastically wrong for Moses when she attempted to use the cat flap to get into the garden. As you might expect for a dog of that size, she got her head well and truly stuck, necessitating a call to the local fire station.
Cue much heroics from the emergency services, one mightly relieved dog and much tabloid punnery:

P.S. Do you think the journo who writes this sort of story gets to go by the name of “Staff Reporter” when the gags dip below a certain threshold of awfulness?
