Pup Mistaken for Wanted Bunny in Wrongful Arrest

Police in Tuscon, AZ have released a puppy named Linkie after they mistakenly arrested him during a state-wide bunny hunt. The actual suspect, a rabbit named Flopsy-Poo, has been on the run from authorities for three days after an alleged celery heist at a local Safeway supermarket.

“We regret the error,” said Tuscon police chief Harold Aimes at a press conference Monday. “Linkie just has such poofy white hair, we had no idea he wasn’t a bunny until we brought him back to the station for questioning.”

To the credit of the authorities, the resemblance is uncanny.

“Linkie often gets mistaken for a small white rabbit at the park when running freely through the grass,” says Ryan Maza, a close friend of the dog. “Further, Linkie bounces and leaps when he runs.”

Pup Patrols Neighborhood for Yellow Snow

As a member of Somerset’s neighborhood watch, Massachusetts dog Leo is always on the lookout for suspicious characters and related hijinks. But when the blizzard hit New England this weekend, Leo added another target to his watch list: yellow snow.

“Kids and dogs are going to be out there munching away,” says Jacob Eastbrooke, a Somerset resident and one of the town’s volunteer firefighters. “It’s a veritable smorgasbord of snow. But there are some bad folks out there who are just going to pee on it and keep moving. Personally, I’m glad Leo’s looking into this. Someone’s got to make sure all this snow stays edible.”

So far, Leo has reported 17 instances of yellow snow to local authorities.

“Our job is a lot easier with a trained pee sniffer out there,” says Somerset deputy police chief Ray Chambers. “Leo just calls it in, and we send a crew to take care of it.”
