In England we have a phrase that is commonly used to describe something that is better than all its competitors; that phrase is "It's the dog's bollocks." The following story gives the phrase a whole new meaning...

A 39 year-old was rushed to hospital in France with his penis sliced off. The emergency services had been called by his 64 year-old girlfriend. She told ambulance men that the dog had chewed off her boyfriend's genitals and eaten them.

The woman has been handed a 12-year jail sentence for castrating her partner while he was unconscious and then blaming her pet dog.

Well, I know we all blame 'gas explosions' on the dog, but I think she's taken it all a step to far here.
