Local Dog Denies Homework-Eating Allegations

January 2006

dunedin - Buddy, a four year-old labrador cross from Dunedin North's Sommers household, yesterday denied allegations that he had eaten homework belonging to ten year-old household resident Josh Sommers. The allegations surfaced when Josh failed to deliver an assignment in Ms Braithwaite's 4th period social studies class at St Kilda Intermediate school. "While I recognise my predilection for eating a range of random objects, on the night in question I was fully sated after devouring a full bowl's worth of Premium Meaty Bites" said Buddy, reading from a prepared statement. Buddy went on to hint that Josh's recent run of Playstation high scores might be a useful starting point for investigations.
