Accused forger says, “The dog ate my checks.”

File this under “How do humans stay at the top of the food chain?”

A 42-year old Washington man reported to police that money was disappearing from his checking account. A police investigation showed that the missing money was being used to pay for utility bills and other items at his ex-wife’s home.

When confronted, the 50-year old woman’s first response was that “her dog got into her purse and ate all her personal checks.” She told police that she had “no choice but to take money from her former husband’s account.”

Police have forwarded the case to county prosecutors. The story

File this under “Come on, haven’t you ever had a dog?”

In a contrasting “dog ate” story, Jon Meier, a Wisconsin teenager, missed going on his Spanish class trip to Peru because the family’s one-year-old Golden Retriever, Sunshine, munched on a corner of his passport.

Officials at O’Hare airport in Chicago told him that it was no problem, but when he got to Miami, officials, apparently bent on saving South America from a dangerous teenage menace, wouldn’t let him board the plane.

Jon didn’t blame Sunshine. "I love her too much." The story

Some humans should get their chromosomes out of the gene pool.

My dog chewed up a library book and I knew it would sound like a lame excuse so I ended up showing the book to the librarian. She believed me.

Dogs just like to chew stuff, humans need to accept that

That's why I'm constantly tripping over my dog's chew bones. They can never have enough chew bones to distract them from chewing stuff that shouldn't be chewed.

I've heard of lame excuses but these are unreal.

in this case..the dog is smarter than the owner.
