This past October, a Doberman Pinscher in Vancouver, Washington, named Victoria jumped up onto an electric stove and accidentally nudged a switch that started a fire in the apartment that she lived in. Damage to the apartment resulted in about $100,000 damage.

This is the second time this year that Victoria has jumped on the stove and started a fire. The first fire caused less damage.

Alright .. Do they get rid of the dog or should they replace the stove? Yeah, a dog shouldn’t be jumping on the stove, but I also don’t think that the stove should be that easy to switch on.

(1) Houdini - The 12-foot-long Burmese python in Ketchum, Idaho, that accidentally swallowed a large electric blanket in July and an electrical cord, after pulling it from the wall. Veterinary surgeons managed to remove the whole thing, leaving Houdini in good condition.

(2) Crash - The pelican that smashed into a car in Malibu, Calif., and had undergone a month’s rehabilitation only, when finally released in July, to collide beak-first with some rocks, before successfully lifting off. Wildlife officials said Crash may have been disoriented from eating toxic algae.

(3) Barney - The Doberman pinscher guarding a children’s museum near Wells, England who lost control and chewed up almost $1 million worth of rare teddy bears in August, including one once belonging to Elvis Presley.
