Minneapolis - A mind-boggling story was released in today's StarTribune. A 39 yr-old woman attempted to mail a 4 month-old puppy via USPS Priority mail from Minneapolis to Atlanta, GA.
The bizarre incident occurred last Tuesday. The woman, Stacey Champion, put the Poodle-mix pup into a sealed box for shipping.
She did not tell the postal workers what was inside, but did let them know that the box could make some sounds because it contained a toy robot.
Champion left the post office and a short time later, postal workers became suspicious when the box fell from the counter.
Postal inspectors were contacted so that the contents of the box could be viewed - what they discovered shocked them all.

The pup was taken to the city's animal control facility and Champion was cited for misdemeanor animal cruelty. Curious what the charge would have been if a baby was discovered inside?
