In 1966, England was preparing to host the World Cup games when someone stole the championship Jules Rimet Trophy out from under their noses! Police received a ransom note and met with the contact -and arrested him. But it took a little dog named Pickles to actually find the trophy. Read the story of how Pickles became the hero of the World Cup at mental_floss. Link
Sad sad and sadness for ENGLAND & now there is another problem the 6 replicas of the jules rimet/world cup have been stolen in Joburg oh no... only if my poor old dog was still alive to save the day!!!
Did anyone else notice the photographer on the ground with his dated twin-lens reflex eying the younger guy's fancy new SLR?
