42 Stops to Super Bowl XLII: #17 - My Dog Ate My Super Bowl Tickets!

The 42 Stops to Super Bowl XLII (http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/tag/42StopstoSuperBowlXLII/) is a series that will feature stories, stats and interesting trivia that you can use to act smart as you prepare for Super Bowl XLII.
Most likely, you don't have tickets to the Super Bowl. That sucks. It would suck even more if you did have tickets ... and then your dog ate them. That happened to an Arizona man whose Lab chewed up his ducats (http://www.azcentral.com/sports/superbowl/glendale/articles/0126gl-sbdog-ON.html):The mishap occurred Wednesday when Chris Gallagher requested that a courier leave the anticipated package under the doormat of his Avondale home. The courier instead slipped the envelope under the front door. [The dog] Buddy accepted delivery.
But the tickets go down as Buddy's most expensive chew toy, the remains emblazoned with the Vince Lombardi Trophy scattered across the living room floor.
When Gallagher walked in that night, Buddy zipped out the doggy door. The dog would remain in the back yard for two nights afterward. "He's a troublemaker," Gallagher said. "But he looks at you with those big eyes and you can't be mad for long."
The good news is that the $900 tickets can be replaced and Gallagher will be able to go to the game. Better news is that all is forgotten with Buddy and the mess he made. The lesson to be learned? If you are a mail carrier ... follow directions or your company may have to replace something very valuable.
