Sit...Stay

In a bit of Revisionist History, Ubu had to be put down after attacking the mailman.


This is horrifying. I will have no part in this.


We all know Ubu, the lovable Frisbee-playing scamp of a chocolate lab who popped up at the end of our favourite sitcoms in the 90s:


What you may not know is the more tragic tale of Ubu's puppyhood fame and subsequent downward spiral due to an alleged catnip addiction. The end came in an unfortunate series of events, as our hero was going through what one might describe as withdrawal symptoms, and the mailman was more ornery than usual...it was Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Day. The ensuing scuffle cost the mailman the use of his left pinky, and poor Ubu his life.


I'll prepare the court papers...


Here's a fun bit of trivia. The voice you hear in the above video is in fact not Ubu.


Your use of the word "fact" is troubling.


The bark is actually supplied by famous voice-actor Phydeaux LeBlanc, a Golden Retriever from Quebec most renowned for his performance on that Christmas Barking Dogs CD you see on Infomercials around the holidays.

You have to get outside ever once in a while. And you had better check your facts on the dog from Quebec because I heard no French accent in that bark.
