Reply to comment by jableshables in TIL Charles Dickens had a talking pet raven named Grip, who terrorized his dog, buried valuables in the yard, and died eating "a pound or two" of lead paint. As a character in one of his novels, Grip is believed to have inspired Poe's famous poem, and is on display in a Philadelphia public library by jableshables

If the first Grip wasn’t impudent, imagine how bad the next two were!

Right? If attacking the dog and eating its food and biting the children is respectful, the replacements must have been pretty awful.
