I'm looking for pictures or very short stories (300 words or less) about high energy, high drive, high needs dogs that have destroyed, damaged, or chewed something expensive to replace or valuable.
I'm writing an article about why certain dogs and dog breeds need vigilant owners, homes, and training and I want to use some very pricy examples to hopefully get through to people and possibly make them think twice or actually take the advice seriously and do right by their pets.
I'm having trouble finding pictures on google that I can use to illustrate damage that dogs can do to homes and valuables, so if you know of any that aren't yours, I'd appreciate those, too.

What we didn't get pictures of - the time he took an entire bottle of grape juice into the only room with beige carpeting and chewed the top off of it.
I can still see dog prints in grape juice if I look really closely.
ETA: There's also a hole in the side of that beige loveseat from earlier this year, when I thought I had fixed his separation anxiety in the crate, and he proved me wrong while I was out getting groceries

My sis in law got a high strung puppy, didn't have time for him. She kept him in the hallway between their garage and great room. He chewed a huge hole in the steps to her library above the garage, then tore up a majority of her books. When they decided to tie him outside he tore and chewed the shingles off the side of the house.
I took him over, never had a problem with him touching anything in my house, kept him well exercised and mentally stimulated. He was completely housebroken with me, when he went back to her house for a visit first thing he did was lift his leg on her jacket.
My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.

That reminds me.. there is also the jacket that hung too close to the crate when we had it in the kitchen and he was younger.. one sleeve is now considerably shorter than the other
When we bought our first farm house a dog dig a hole in the bath room door. The sale person said not to worry that they got rid of the "beast". The whole house was some what dog damaged.
Kenzi used to have a taste for handknit socks. But it was just normal oportunistic teenage puppy "I'm kinda bored" stuff. Well, that and a person who left said socks on the floor near the crate. And I've had a few pockets chewed through due to leftover treats. Again, nothing major, just normal oportunistic dog stuff.

Samantha, would you be willing to post the article here? I would love to read it! What a great topic.
The poodle we had as children consumed an entire family sized jar of Vaseline while we were at church. She was banished to the back yard for three days. You do NOT want pictures of that.
Because of Leerburg, and all the great advice I receive here, our current GSD has never destroyed a thing in our house. She is a perfect angel, we keep her well exercised and train several times a day. Thank you Leerburg!!!
Our pals, doctors with no time for such a breed, had 2 siberian huskies. They liked to take the dogs for rides in the car.
Took the dogs to the movies, confined to the "dog area" with a gate in the back of the Subaru.
The dogs ate thru the seats. All the seats needed to be replaced, even the driver's seat.
