Look out for the Bumpus hounds....
I swear I am not making this up.
My cousin was hosting her husband's family for Thanksgiving. She put the turkey on top of the refrigerator to keep it away from the dog.
The cat jumped up on the refrigerator and pushed the turkey off for the dog.
Cousin quickly said "let me go get the ~other~ turkey"...
Then washed off and served the original one she had rescued from the dog.
