    Yes, that is a headline that made the NZ Herald, originally Cheddar Valley Gazette...
    A duck wearing a bow tie suffered injuries following a brawl with a dog in a pub in Chulmleigh, Devon, UK.

    The dapper duck, named Star, was enjoying a pint with his owner Barrie Hayman when Hayman's dog Meggie reportedly started the fight.

    ...

    "Star pushed his luck too far and Meggie snapped - splitting Star's bottom beak right down the middle," Hayman told the Cheddar Valley Gazette.
    "He gave her a stare, then promptly stood on her back. It was not pretty and not nice. We were so scared we would lose Star.

    ...

    Star is known in the area for regularly enjoying a pint of ale at the Inn, always in his bow tie.

    Possibly the greatest headline you'll read this year, and the story pretty much backs it up too. Fancy a duck wearing a bowtie, eh?

    You cut out the important bit!
