Possessed Dog Runs Amok in Central Park after Hearing Bobby Brown’s Music

New York-Bingo, a stray dog that has been wandering the boroughs of New York for six years, became possessed earlier today after hearing Bobby Brown’s 1988 hit single, My Prerogative.

The dog entered Rasta Records on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and 126th street in Harlem around 11 this morning. He wandered the store for a few minutes eating scraps of food then lay down next to a group of teenagers congregated in the back room.

“We were just listening to some old tunes, you know, and hanging out, and, you know, getting high and stuff. And I put on an old Bobby Brown record and you know, the dog just lost it and his eyes turned all freaky,” teen Adam Wessler said.

Police arrived on the scene by 11:30 to restrain the rabid dog, which had been breaking records and biting store employees. After several failed attempts at using a taser gun on the animal, police turned to religious figures for help.

“There was a lot of drug paraphernalia in the store so the dog could have digested some PCP and cannabis to make him go crazy,” Wild Animal Expert and Police Officer Patrick Butter said. “But the chances of demonic possession caused by a Bobby Brown hit song are far more likely, so we needed to put our faith in the church.”

Father Tony of Holy Sacred Merriment Church arrived with rosaries and holy water to perform an exorcism a few hours later, and was last seen chasing the demonic dog into Central Park.

Bobby Brown could not be reached for comment on the matter, but a spokesperson has made it very clear that “he is not a demon.”
