News Flash: Dog Blackmails Man

Sometimes we find the best reading on the back of a package of dog treats. I'm not kidding, really. My wife bought our Yorkie a bag of Newman's Own Organics Premium Dog Treats. On the back of the package was this delightful bit of fluff and I wanted to share it with you. So here it is in full.

The Daily Scoop! 2A

Newman Dog Tells All!!

The literary world is reeling with the news that Paul Newman's dog is shopping a tell-all book on the famous actor and his family.

Insiders say that Newman, in an attempt to squash the book, has tried to dissuade his "best friend" from going ahead with the project by launching a line of delcious pet food and treats.

The dog's agent has not returned Newman's calls.

Several editors who have received the proposal say that the dog writes openly about Newman's persistent disobedience of the house rules, Newman's deep rooted fear of toilet water and, his penchant for wearing mismatched socks.

The dog also reveals that Paul's daughter, Nell, is a mess-making machine in the kitchen and at the breakfast table. "It is all I can do to eat all the scraps that drop to the floor." Along with other eccentricities of the family, Nell's new pet chickens leave the author perplexed. "What kind of affection do they show her? I've never seen a chicken lick her face at 6 AM."

In spite of the vaunted candor of the book, however, the author exercises some discretion. The only reference to the sensitive of subject of age is diplomatic. "Let's just say they are both well over 250 years old."

Due out this summer, Scraps on a Cold Stone Stoop has already started a bidding war for the film rights.

Is there a real book 'written' by the dog? I'd love to buy it.
