Dog Denies All Knowledge
November 6th, 2008
Bisto, an unidentified mix from Milpitas, CA, awoke from his afternoon nap Wednesday to find that much of the sofa on which he was sleeping had apparently disintegrated of its own accord and vanished into thin air.
The questionable phenomenon came to light around 3:30pm when his owner, Wendy McArdle, returned home from work early.
“He was fast asleep when I came in,” the 46 year old legal secretary said, “and I guess he must have known nothing about it because when I woke him up, he looked visibly shocked at what had happened. His ears fluttered as he surveyed the damage, then he looked at me confusedly before peeking over the side of the sofa as if he was looking for the missing pieces. I guess he was as surprised as I was.”
As of Wednesday evening, pigeons were being cited by McCardle as the main suspects. “It wouldn’t be the first time those pigeons have gotten in and caused mischief. When Bisto was a puppy they’d fly through the window and pee in the corner of the living room when I was at work. There must have been at least a dozen of them doing it because they’d leave a big pool. When I asked Bisto if he knew anything about it, he’d jump up onto the window sill and bark at the pigeons outside. I think he was as annoyed about it as I was, to be honest.”
McCardle couldn’t say why the pigeons would tear up her sofa like that but speculated that they may have used the pieces to build a nest.
