Local police in County Clare in the west of Ireland were alerted to the presence of a lion-like creature in the woods when a video began circulating of the animal. When they got there, however, they found that the animal was actually a Newfoundland dog with a fresh haircut vaguely resembling a lion’s mane.

Don’t think over my life time, I’ve taken any drug to make me believe this was a lion.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, apparently the dog’s name is Mouse.
The press conference is going to be like “who’s on first” with an Irish brogue

And he’s a good boy, good boy…
