Former French President Chirac hospitalised after mauling by his clinically depressed poodle

Former French president Jacques Chirac was rushed to hospital after being mauled by his own 'clinically depressed' pet dog.

The 76-year-old statesman was savaged by his white Maltese dog - which suffers from frenzied fits and is being treated with anti-depressants.

The animal, named Sumo, had become increasingly violent over the past years and was prone to making 'vicious, unprovoked attacks', Chirac's wife Bernadette said.

OK I'm not wishing any harm on any one. But this is too damn funny not to laugh at. I could sneeze and blow that dog away. It must have been a terrifying moment for Chirac when the dog attacked and would halt to the white flag.

After awhile Chirac even gets to the dog.The dog belongs to his wife and was probably defending her from his clumsy advances or the dog converted to Islam and is on Jihad against all frogs ?

Too funny. There is nothing wrong with the dog; it's the company it keeps.

I thought this would have been from the Onion.

Judicial justice may be waning, but poetic justice is alive and well. :D:D:D

Aww, the dog looks like the poodle we had in our family when I was a kid. Our poodle was named Jacques, and he never really bit anyone but our dad. Plus, he almost ate my sister's hamster a couple of times and fathered several litters of puppies around the neighborhood, in the days before leash laws. He got gay in old age, and started taking up with my grandma's cocker.

He was a french poodle, after all.
