Drop the Dead Dog

This story came to our attention from a reader who alerted us to an anonymous story on a “Hubpages” website instead of a traditional news outlet, so it’s veracity is neither here nor there. So just take it for the purpose in which it was intended: uncontrollable laughter.
A robber somewhere out there in Anytown U.S.A. got a rather unique surprise when he stole a woman’s suitcase.
According to the story, a woman lost her beloved dog and had to bring the body to a vet. She packed it in a suitcase so it wouldn’t arouse suspicion, but the thing was too heavy to carry. We’ve all been there.
Fortunately, a passerby saw the struggling woman and offered to help carry the case for her. He asked what she had inside that was causing all the weight and she didn’t want the man to think she was strange, so she said she had some computers in the suitcase. The man suddenly took off with the suitcase in tow. Just imagine his shock when he opened the case to find a recently deceased dog inside of it. He’s such a dupe that he might actually try to pawn it off as one of those new fangled “incognitos Apples that Steve Jobs is always selling.”

man, this is so fake, explain to me how someone can outrun someone else with a heavy and big suitcase, so heavy they need 2 people to cary it down, and starting from a position where the owner is still holding the box becous they where going down a staircase, this is a fake urban myth, even the start of the articel is the clasic start of a urtban myht, it happend to a friend of a friend. come on, this is a fake.

She was just too weak to lift it on her own… the man was probably able to lift it on his own and he was able to take off with it. They didnt need 2 people to carry the suitcase.
And yeah it may be a fake story anyway.
