Anyone in Toronto want to save a puppy?

[Patchoulia]

My co-worker's husband found 6 puppies in a box by the side of the road. Here's the email she sent:

"We've bathed them, sprayed them for fleas and wormed them....but we can't keep them. They are currently in a kennel in my basement since I don't have a fence. I've lost count of the number of rescue groups that I've contacted, only to be turned down due to no room. Please check with every dog person you know to see if they want to adopt a puppy. PLEASE help me find them homes - Otherwise, it's Animal Control - which means they only have 5 days."

If you can't see that picture, follow this link:

And if you know anyone who wants a puppy, let me know ASAP and I'll get you in touch with the person who has them!

That picture (and the text of the plea) is included in

which details how this story, and other similar ones, have been going around for a while now.

Aloha,

Your co-worker and/or her husband have some 'splaining to do.

[Patchoulia]

That may be, but one of my co-workers actually already took one of the 6 puppies...soo..that's odd...

Perhaps the entire Accounting department is perpetrating a scam on my department due to all the work we make them do...lol..

This is gold. Bradm managed to snope-check the puppy plea and stoned phillips co-workers are idiots. yeah, you can tell them I said that

[Patchoulia]

Co-workers being idiots?

This isn't news...

The reason I was over in A/P today was to pick up a cheque that I've been trying to have processed for 6 week (yep, SIX WEEKS).

Despite my submitting the cheque req with the vendor name and address clearly delineated, they have twice made it out to the wrong vendor name and the wrong address (this was after a month of trying to get them to set up the vendor in the "system", which was evidently too laborious or confusing for them).

I'm more into saving kittens anyways.

but what if snopes is fake?

I have been receiving that email from just about everyone in my address book for over two weeks. I can't believe how some of those viral emails work their way around.

The emails I got of course said they were in Ottawa........

I wish there was a filter that could be run on incoming email that would scan for items already deemed false in the Snopes database.

I usually do a REPLY ALL in those cases and send the link to Snopes and encourage people to do a quick check before forwarding some of the stuff.

it's all moot, these puppies were killed weeks ago ...

[Dancin man]

Animal contol does not put down puppies...that's just silly.

Puppies are easy to find homes for, especially if they are free.

Hoax.

Or they just think you're an asshole like all my co-workers do when I pull the same trick.

The interesting part is that SP's co-worker is the one perpetrating the story. Can you get to the bottom of this Julia?

Reminds me of someone I knew at school who claimed that this happened to one of her friends. She wouldn't even back down when I called her on it. People are weird.
