A cartoon dog named Cooper choked to death after gorging himself on orange cartoon footballs at a nightclub in Cleveland on Tuesday night. Cooper, known by locals as the lovable symbol of the Cleveland Browns’ Dawg Pound was 10 years old. The pooch collapsed after he began choking on a large cartoon football that got stuck in his throat. According to witnesses, it was his fifth cartoon football in a 10 minute period. Fellow revelers and nightclub staff tried to revive him, but were unable to clear his airways. As a tribute to their fallen friend, the Cleveland Browns have promised not to choke during the 2009 regular season.
