I had a dog like that once. He was a border collie mix. We called him Loki, for exactly the reasons one might think a person would call a dog Loki.
He ate books. But not all books. Only books about science. He would pull other books off the shelf and take a bite or two, but he only destroyed science books. He got about halfway through The Universe is a Green Dragon before deciding it didn't count.
Also, once upon a time, when I was a young kidling, I had a miniature dachshund that, when you left it alone in the house for more than about an hour, would tear up any paper it could find in the house (newspapers, bills, checks, Dixie cups, toilet paper), build a pile of the shreds, and then poop on top of the pile. Every time. So I guess it could be worse. :)
