One Texas Mayor Is In Deep Shih Tzu Over A Dognapping

Mayor Grace Saenz-Lopez of Alice, Texas has been forced to resign after stealing her neighbor’s dog and pretending it had died. Scandalous!:

Neighbours had asked Alice Mayor Grace Saenz-Lopez to look after the dog, Puddles, during a holiday. She called them to say it was dead.

But the dog, which Ms Saenz-Lopez had renamed Panchito, was later seen at a dog groomer’s and at her sister’s home.

A custody hearing on Monday is expected to decide who keeps the pet.

A custody hearing over who keeps it? Um, what about the owner? Actually, what about neither of them. What about give us the dog, we’ll rename it “Camila Sodi” and teach it to play in the street.

Oh. Did we just type that out loud?
