Natural History Museum at Tring Received £87,000 Government Grants For 88 Stuffed Dogs!

The spoke person of the museum at Hertfordshire mentioned that the grant would be spent on improving the display alongside with other stuffed amphibians reptiles, flightless birds and marsupials.

Those stuffed dogs were said to illustrate the impact of selective breeding mainly date from the early 20th century.

The body of Mick the Miller, legendary racing greyhound who won 46/61 races during his career between 1928 - 1931, is also one of the collection.

Now you know why the museum's given so much money? After Helmsley case, I keep having this feeling that sometimes it is better to be a dog than human. First Trouble inherited £12 million that it does know how to spend and now, dead dogs get £ 87,000 grant. I don't know, why not you tell me.
