New Zealand Requires More Dogs Please
January 7th, 2009
New Zealand has over 45 million sheep - that’s around 10 of the woolly critters per human, or 200 million sweaters.
Unfortunately they make terrible crime fighters, bank robbers not being the kind of fellas who are likely to drop their weapons and stick their hands up at the sound of a “baaaa.”
Consequently they have plenty of shepherds, just not of the four-legged German variety. Which is why a New Zealand police department is calling on German shepherds everywhere to drop everything and catch the next boomerang Down Under (yes they have boomerangs in New Zealand, I Googled it) to fill a shortage of police dogs. New Zealand not exactly being the epicenter of violent crime, I suspect that duties will consist of being tickled under the chin and barking at the occasional sheep for 364 days of the year. Now to land a cushy job like that in America, you have to join a union.
hey there, yes we sure do have a shortage… but i must say, we don’t have any boomerangs, that’s Australia.
