#2 Another exploding Chihuahua?

First its cyborg hummingbirds and now its exploding dogs...what will the CIA ever think of next?

I thought Moslems view dogs as unclean?

#3 Depends, Mr. Clinton.

Among the Saudis and Bedouin, the Saluki is considered 'clean', perhaps because the breed helped feed people in the desert.

Among the tribes in Afghanistan, feral and semi-feral dogs are fairly common, I'm told. Given that dogs evolved from wolves who hung around human settlements and ate waste - thereby both feeding the tamer wolves and also holding down disease etc. for the people - it's not surprising that they show up in many rural places around the world.
