Seeing Eye Dog prime Suspect in Toy Slaying

 

Virginia, April 10, 2009. 

 

The body of Mr. Toy Octopus was discovered yesterday in his
Charlottesville home under suspicious circumstances.

 

"[Mr. Octopus] was the least judgmental toy I ever knew," said Mr.
Stuffed Lamb, a close friend of the deceased. "He welcomed everyone he
met with at least two open arms."

 

The cause of death remains unknown, but officials say evidence suggests
homicide. The prime suspect is one Yani Gg. Shepherd, also
ofCharlottesville. Ms. Shepherd, who works as a Seeing Eye dog for a law
student at the university, was unavailable for comment.

 

Glaze Y. Labrador, Shepherd's roommate and a retired guide herself, has
another theory: "I firmly believe Mr. Octopus's demise was the
unfortunate result of a botched squeakectomy," she stated in a press
conference yesterday. "Yani is young, and squeakectomies can be messy in
the best of circumstances."

 

Shepherd, whose owner is not yet licensed to practice law, is seeking
legal representation. 

 

"Normally, she'd have a hard time finding an attorney who would work for
kibble," said the labrador-poodle mix of a local defense lawyer, who
wished to remain anonymous. "But given the state of the economy, all
bets are off."

 

Meanwhile, the toys who knew Octopus continue to grieve. Perhaps they
can find some small comfort in the knowledge that their friend's  rattle
and squeaker were recovered and are suitable for transplantation.
