Yes; he was the dog who found the original World Cup trophy after it had been stolen. He was being walked by his owner, and he went sniffing around a rubbish heap. This is what I've been told, anyway...

Here is the story that I found on Comcast news. Sick people I tell you!!\n\n\n\nN.Y.-Bound Puppies Used As Drug Couriers\nBy TOM HAYS, Associated Press Writer\n5 hours ago\n\nNEW YORK - Colombian smugglers turned puppies into drug mules by surgically implanting them with packets of liquid heroin, authorities said.\n\nInvestigators believe the ring used the dogs, as well as people who swallowed the drugs, to conceal millions of dollars of heroin on commercial flights into New York for distribution on the East Coast.\n\nTen puppies, including Labrador retrievers, were rescued during a 2005 raid on a farm in Colombia, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said Wednesday, while announcing more than 30 arrests.\n\nA veterinarian had stitched a total of 3 kilograms of heroin into the bellies of six pups. Three died from infections after the drugs were removed.\n\nThe surviving dogs "are still alive and well, we're told," said John P. Gilbride, head of the DEA's New York office.\n\nColombian police said they adopted three dogs, one of which was being trained to sniff for drugs.\n\nIt was unclear how many dogs might have been used in the smuggling scheme, Gilbride said.\n\n"I think it's outrageous and heinous that they'd use small, innocent puppies in this way," he said.\n\nBesides the pups and human swallowers, authorities said the ring based in Medellin also concealed drugs in body creams, aerosol cans, and the linings of purses and luggage.\n\nRecent raids in Colombia resulted in more than 20 arrests; another 10 suspects were in custody in New York, Florida and North Carolina. About 24 kilograms of heroin was seized, officials said.

It was then transfered to the british who then made it world wide and spread it all around the world..\n\nSure of it and i can bet on my life..

Hey I'd believe any trash on Bush as he is such a liar and embarrassment to the U.S. Maybe it was his dog he was kissing and someone made a mistake. Pickles is too busy worrying about how the women of Iraq are dressing to pay attention to Bush so maybe he thought he could get a little Rice A Bony why Cupie was giving her fine women's rights speech.

I can't find it on-line either, and I've found that you can find references to any common animal name through Google. Therefore, this is almost certainlty not a real animal.

The term has its origins in Aberdeen Scotland. A 15th century land-owner and pig farmer, by the name of Adam Dunnings, became famous for using the same giant saddleback pig to carry him to work every day for 20 years. This story is also the origin of the name 'saddleback' as the pig was 'saddled' by the farmer. When the pig died the farmer honored his beast by eating him.

I've been to Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, The Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and American Samoa.\nThe strangest thing i ever encountered was when i ordered "BEEF STEW" in a dirt floor cafe in the Philippines.\nThere was a woman with me and she sat across the table to watch me eat it.\nIt was piled high on top of white rice.\nI was gobbling it down, Navy style, and the woman asked me, "You like?". I said, "Yeah, but it tastes funny...has a funny texture. What is this, horse meat?"\nShe replied, "No. Dats DOG!".\nI nearly lost it. i began to imagine my pet dog growing up. But i had already eaten half of it so i finished it.\nIf i had known what it was before i started eating it, i would have passed. But i don't like to waste food, and i was hungry.\nAlso had monkey meat...on a stick!\n"Monkey meat, chicken feet...you like eat?"\nPhilippines is a trip.\n\nHad Kobe beef, in Sasebo, Japan. Kobe beef is illegal in America. Because they strp a calf to a harness and it never touches the ground. They massage it's body with special oils and feed it a special diet.\nThe meat melts in your mouth. Nothing like it.\nIt's eaten raw in a rice roll, with greens.

Not all involve only animals.  There are important family and tribe values taught in some stories.  \nThe most famous involve a spider whom often gets into mischief because he does not think of others.  \nSome storied are explanations for the unknown (like many myths). (why the mosquitoes fly into ears, and why the sun and moon rise and set..)\nIf you want to pass you should go to the library.

Comedians have known for years that "k" words are funny.  \n\nTomato isn't funny; pickle is.

I believe it is from the use of rhyming to emphasise something being great! As in "the bees knees". This then became "the mutt's nuts", which translated into non-rhyming is "the dog's bollocks". WHY? I don't know.

LOL It's probably because the Dog considers his balls to be the best thing ever in his world!(for him, obviously)\n\nI'm British and have only heard that expression here.\n\n Dog's Bollocks  \n \n In UK slang terms the "dog's bollocks" means the best. It comes from the habit of male dog's licking their testicles (bollocks) and that they must taste good as they spend so much time in this activity\n -Excerpt from-  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Dog's+Bollocks\n\n:)

Yes, it is all taken care of by the gods in trivial knowledge panthenon of the discworld called Topaxi, God of certain mushrooms, and also of great ideas that you forgot to write down and will never remember again, and of people who tell other people the "dog" is "god" spelled backwards and think this is in some way revelatory (a little red god)

Yes, but not in our hearts and minds.\n\nLassie, a Rough Collie, is "the world's most famous dog" [1] and a fictional character who has starred in many movies, TV shows, and books over the years.\nIn 1943 the book was made into what would become the first Lassie movie, also titled Lassie Come Home (no hyphen), which generally followed the plot of the book. Roddy McDowall starred. Since then, there have been numerous sequels, television series and spin-offs.\nThe first dog to play the role of Lassie was Pal, originally from Glamis Collies of California. The original owner could not train the dog and hired Weatherwax Trained Dogs to do the job. When the owner couldn't pay the bill, Pal became owned by animal trainer Rudd Weatherwax and his brother Frank Weatherwax.\n\nBefore Pal's death, he was bred with a number of bitches, resulting in hundreds of offspring, Nine direct line descendants of Pal have performed as Lassie. All offspring not chosen to be the next Lassie were adopted with spay/neuter contracts.\n\nAll 9 Lassies have been male, playing a female character. The female collie loses her coat at least once a year making it unsuitable for use year round. Also, the male is larger and a child actor can play opposite the dog for a longer period of time.\nThe current Lassie is busy siring Lassie 10, making personal appearances, a new 2006 movie was released and a tour is in progress promoting that film..
