OT - Woman tries to mail puppy

[elocomotive]

From one story...

A woman who tried to mail a puppy in a box from Minnesota to Georgia now wants the puppy back, along with the $22 she paid to ship the dog.

When Stacey Champion first brought the box to the post office, she warned postal workers to be careful, but reassured them that she was shipping a toy robot. But when the box began to move and make noise, workers got permission to open it, and found a 4-month old puppy inside named Guess, a black poodle-Schnauzer mix. The postal workers gave the thirsty pup some water, and now he's at an animal control facility.

Prior to notifying authorities that she wanted the dog back, Champion returned to the post office demanding a refund of the $22 she paid to mail the puppy, in addition to requesting that a small amount of money attached to a makeshift dog collar be returned.

And another description...

A postal inspector said the package that housed Guess had been wrapped so tight that it completely sealed off the air holes. He also explained if the parcel had shipped, it would have been sent by air in an unpressurized and unheated part of a plane. The ordeal would have been a certain death sentence for the little black dog packed inside.

Land of the free, home of the sometimes ridiculously stupid.

The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. Maybe she saw that cell phone service commercial where the woman disguises her son as a dog and ships him to save money? "Is that a talking dog?"
