Original ENIAC mouse test (ca. 1945):

"Randall: What's the zaniest thing you did while developing ENIAC?

Eckert: The mouse cage was pretty funny. We knew mice would eat the insulation off the wires, so we get samples of all the wires that were available and put them in a cage with a bunch of mice to see which insulation they did not like. We only used wire that passed the mouse test."

Adorable.

... or did the owner chew on it, then stage the photo to frame the dog?  The poor, innocent, dog.

I wouldn't be surprised, just like people who put the blame on the dog when they fart.

In this adorable dog's imagination, ticks look like the mouth of a strange creature. :)

Homeless the dog from Cutting Edge Engineering Australia (Youtube) is a Doomguy for incoming mail – and toys.  Rip and tear, rip and tear.

Puppies sometimes chew on our favourite shoes, exactly because they like the smell.  Some dogs have a protective instinct that a foreign smell might trigger when they're alone, leading to e.g. mail being chewed, especially when young, impulsive, bored, and not a thought stirring in their little noggin.

Should have bought a meter with a proper DOG III rating.

Who is not to love an innocent-faced puppy after some mischief?
