Japanese actress finds out why her "poodle" won't bark or eat dog food.

Either this is a clever piece of fiction that managed to fool a few newspapers, or it's actually real. Having had trouble with my skept-o-meter lately, I don't feel qualified to tell. ;)

Edit: The former. I'd visit Snopes more often if they'd get rid of the piles of pop-up windows...
