Staring at Strangers: NY Times Goes to the Dogs

NY Times Goes to the Dogs

The NY Times abandoned all journalistic standards when in yesterday's edition they published a follow up story on Leona Helmsley's decision to leave the bulk of her estate, as much as $8 billion, to the care and welfare of dogs.

The Times interviewed several dogs, getting their reaction to this news event and where they think the money should go. Quotes came from a variety of breeds, including a Yorkshire terrier, pug, Jack Russell terrier, and poodle.

The Jack Russell terrier said, "If I had my way, I'd buy every squeaky toy I could get my hands on."

What's next, interviews with elephants and donkeys about the presidential elections?
