Heartbreaker: Jacques Chirac mauled by poodle

And no, it’s not a joke. The former French President has been mauled by his poodle.

Former French President Jacques Chirac was rushed to a hospital after being mauled by his pet dog who is being treated for depression, in a dramatic incident that rattled the ex-president’s wife.

The couple’s white Maltese poodle, called Sumo, has a history of frenzied fits and became increasingly prone to making “vicious, unprovoked attacks” despite receiving treatment with anti-depressants, Chirac’s wife Bernadette said.

“If you only knew! I had a dramatic day yesterday,” she told VSD magazine. “Sumo bit my husband!”

Mrs. Chirac, 74, did not reveal where the former president was bitten, but said, “the dog went for him for no apparent reason.”

Somehow, it doesn’t surprise me that a poodle was able to maul a former President of France.

    This is too precious for words. It’s no wonder the poodle was depressed, given what scum its master is. I hope the dog was treated for poisoning given the kind of person who it bit.
