| It's funny, because if they were giving them away, they wouldn't have to email strangers, they'd give them to the neighbors or something. |

| Hoax! HOAX!! HOAX!!!! For some reason tons of hoaxes come out of Africa and Nigeria. I don't know what type of dog that is (they do have the face shaved), but it sure is cute. Hopefully the people who have it like dogs better than people like they are intending to rip off! |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | maybe you should email them back. just a suggestion, of course that could cause a virus. i don't really think it looks like a stuffed animal because of its nose. usually they have a shinyer (sp?) nose.

| Yep.. just as I suspected, I went to the Wizard of Claws site , and they have many sickly looking pups posted with the exact same backdrop. PetitePawz
