Illegal alien puppy gets U.S. amnesty
Apr. 30, 2006 at 11:36AM
A four-legged illegal alien captured by the U.S. Border Patrol in Arizona has been granted what amounts to unconditional amnesty.
"Minute Mutt," a 3-month-old puppy picked up last week with a group of illegal aliens, faced immediate deportation after no one claimed ownership, The Washington Times reported Sunday.
Fortunately, however, a Minuteman volunteer from Phoenix decided to take the puppy home to his three young children.
Volunteers believe the puppy, who appears to be half-coyote, survived the journey from Mexico to the United States by eating field mice and drinking water found in the sparse desert terrain.
"You might call this an immigration success story," one Minuteman volunteer told the newspaper. "And I don't think he'll ever want to eat field mice again."
Another volunteer said this could be called an immigration success story.
The volunteers are private U.S. citizens who watch the border on their own initiative.
