MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) Theyre calling it the parcel puppy. A Minneapolis woman is charged with animal cruelty after police say she tried to send a puppy through the mail.
The poodle-mixed pup is being held temporarily at the animal control office in Minneapolis but still belongs to the woman who allegedly tried to mail it 39-year-old Stacey Champion.
Clearly there wasnt a whole lot of thought that went into this, said Sgt. Angela Dodge with the Minneapolis Police Department.
Dodge said last Tuesday Champion took the puppy to the Loring Post Office. The puppy was in a box with a priority sticker on it.
A puppy is a definite no-no, said Pete Nowacki with the U.S. Postal Service.
Postal workers didnt know right away about the puppy inside, until the box fell off the counter
