There's A Lion In The Yard

A man in New Mexico shaved his dog this way to scare away would be burglars.

This reminds me of the Jerry Clower bit.

Uncle Versie Ledbetter has shaved his collie for the summer, for fun he leaves a mane and bob on the end of the tail. Seeing the dog Versie's son Newgene went running through the house yelling....

There's a lion in the yard! A lion in the yard!

Later after being sent to his room for lying, Newgene is still convinced..

The lord spoke to me, and he thought it looked like a lion too.
