MISSING PETS.COM SOCK PUPPET FOUND

SHEBOYGIN, WI -- The missing spokespuppet for the now defunct Web site, Pets.com has been found behind the clothes dryer in a local suburban home. While the exact condition of the famous Sock Puppet has been withheld pending notification of his pair, authorities did say that the spokespuppet appeared to still have his trademark microphone and Timex watch collar. The spokespuppet disappeared from public view shortly after Pets.com went out of business in 2001. While he was rumored to have been planning a

return to the public eye along with ‘Lambchop,’ the sock puppet who worked with the late Shari Lewis, the Pets.com Sock Puppet had not been seen or heard from in months. Given the location of the spokespuppet upon being discovered, it is assumed that he was lost after being removed from the dryer, but smell tests are still underway to determine the exact nature of the spokespuppet’s disappearance.
