Channel 4 reports a woman burned out of her River Street home last month recently returned to the property to look for belongings - and promptly heard scratching noises being made by her pet, Lola the long-haired dachshund. Lola had somehow survived not only the two-alarm fire but being locked inside the remains of the building for a month.

Next they'll find the gnawed bones of the person Lola has been eating for the last month. What a heart-warming story!

Brings to mind Hitchcock's TV series character who served leg of lamb to the cops investigating her husband's death; said gigot having been used to knock off the old boy - no murder weapon was ever found.

That's actually based off a short story by Roald Dahl. Loved his short stories.

The MSPCA is collecting donations; any extra money will go to a fund to help poor people whose pets need medical care.
