Hey Gabe whatever happened to you?
You aren't lookin' too good, Gabe. Um, care to shed some light on how you got all scruffed and torn?
"Grr .. whoever said I'd tell you?"
Because Gabe's being unco-operative imma explain what he's thinkin ...
He used to be a mascot for a greyhound racing track; however one day one of the dogs went loose and, as Greyhounds do, went for the first cuddly, remotely fluffy thing that seemed to be around - and that just happened to be Gabe. That explains why he has his tears and such.
