Maybe give the boys a chew toy next time. These dogs were lounging around the house when one of the pups stumbled upon what he thought was the perfect little snack: a lithium battery.


Being a dog, he didn’t know that puncturing a lithium battery is a really, really bad idea. And so, he happily chomped away at the thing — until it, and the entire living room, went kaboom.


Thankfully, neither of the dogs were hurt, but they’re going to need a new dog bed.
