A US man shaved his Labradoodle to make it look like a lion inadvertently sparked fears of a big cat on the loose.

        Folks in Norfolk, Virginia, rang 911 claiming a fearsome jungle cat was wandering the streets. After police called the zoo to make sure they weren't missing something, everyone realized the joke was on them.

 The owner calls his dog, Charles the Monarch. He calls his dog a Lab-a-lion.
