**BREAKING: Canine Culprit Causes Chaos in OKC Suburbs**
In a shocking turn of events, a mischievous mutt from Oklahoma has found himself in the doghouse after being caught on camera committing a heinous crime: starting a fire by chewing on a lithium ion battery.
According to eyewitnesses, the furry fiend, a 3-year-old golden retriever named Bubba, was seen sauntering into the kitchen of his OKC home, his beady little eyes fixed on the prized battery. And then, in a moment of sheer canine craziness, he chomped down on the device, sparking a blaze that would leave a trail of destruction in its wake.
“I was just sitting on the couch, minding my own business, when suddenly I heard a loud ‘POP’ and saw flames shooting out of the kitchen,” said homeowner, Jane Doe. “I rushed in to find Bubba standing amidst a sea of smoke, his tail wagging innocently as if to say, ‘Who, me?'”
The fire, which was reportedly “epic” in its proportions, destroyed several kitchen cabinets, melted a toaster, and left a lingering scent of burnt rubber and despair.
“I mean, I’ve heard of dogs being destructive, but this is on a whole other level,” said local firefighter, Bob Smith. “We’ve seen some crazy things in our line of work, but a dog starting a fire with a lithium ion battery? That’s just dog-gone ridiculous!”
As for Bubba, he’s currently facing charges of arson, destruction of property, and being a general nuisance. His owner, Jane Doe, has been left to ponder the wisdom of leaving a lithium ion battery within paw’s reach.
“I guess you could say Bubba got a little too ‘charged up’,” she quipped. “But seriously, I’m just glad no one was hurt. And Bubba? Well, he’s just lucky I don’t make him sleep in the doghouse… permanently.”
The incident has left the OKC community in stitches, with many calling for greater awareness about the dangers of lithium ion batteries and the importance of keeping them out of reach of curious canines.
As for Bubba, he’s currently undergoing counseling to address his apparent issues with pyromania. When asked for comment, his lawyer released a statement saying, “Bubba is remorseful and promises to stick to chasing sticks from now on.”
