Dog Munchkin Thief Identified
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
Fred the dog had been a welcome addition the Ernst & Young offices in New York City. An “office dog” brought in as part of the city’s experimental Employee Exchange Program, Fred was embraced by all. Then, the Munchkins started disappearing.
“We would have about three cases any given morning,” says secretary Claire Haskell. “By 10 o’clock, they would all be gone. People were upset. Fingers were pointed. It got pretty ugly.”
Then, just as chaos seemed imminent, the culprit became clear.
“It was Fred,” says Haskell.
The pup received a formal warning, and employees became much more vigilant with their Munchkin deliveries.
“We basically just stopped leaving them on the floor,” says Haskell. “Fred will still whine, but management told him he’s not going to be getting any. Not until he starts being a good boy.”

Rabbit Sued by Cats for ‘Copycatting’
A group of cats has filed suit against a local bunny named Pam for what they say is an unauthorized use of intellectual property.
At issue is a picture Pam posted on her Instagram page with depicts her sitting in a cardboard box. The feline group claims that cats own a copyright for what they’re saying is a “unique piece of performance art.”
“Sitting in boxes has always been the domain of cats,” said feline legal team member Larry Watterson, Esq. “We contend that by sitting in that box, and posing for that photo, without paying any licensing fees to my clients, Pam is in breach of copyright laws. We’re seeking punitive damages in the amount of $150,000.”
The case is scheduled to go to court next month.
