Weaponized Puppy Destroys Enemies With Cuteness

At a weapons expo in Arlington, VA this week, defense technology contractor Raytheon demoed its latest breakthrough: a weaponized puppy that dispatches deadly concentrated bursts of cuteness.

“Puppies were long overlooked in the defense world,” said Raytheon spokesperson Arnold La Fontaigne. “It was generally thought that dogs couldn’t be utilized in the military until they matured and were ready for tasks like bomb sniffing, cadaver recovery and scouting.  But our research has found that puppy cuteness levels, when magnified and directed, can be debilitating on the battlefield.”

La Fontaigne would not go into specifics about how his company’s puppies work, but indicated that they essentially “charm enemies to death.”

Dog Concerned ‘Frankenstorm’ Could Cancel Trick-or-Treating

Area dog Toby is concerned that the massive pre-Halloween storm bearing down on the East coast of the United States could interrupt his plans for Halloween fun.

“He’s not really concerned about power outages, downed trees or flooding,” said friend Jaime Bruckman.  "Toby already boarded up his dog house and has a stock pile of bottled water and beef jerky. He’s prepared. No, what’s really got him worried is that Hurricane Sandy might disrupt trick-or-treating on Wednesday.“

Toby is apparently a huge fan of Halloween.  "He lives for October 31,” said Bruckman.  "He put a ton of effort into his wizard costume this year and he’ll be crushed if he can’t go door-to-door with it.“
