<!-- end storyhdr -->GREENVILLE, Maine - Thumper, a black Labrador retriever, is getting credit for saving a Greenville man when a fire swept through his home.

. . .

[Roland] Cote said the fire marshal investigator believes the blaze was started when Princess, the family cat, tipped over a kerosene lantern. More (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071011/ap_on_fe_st/odd_fire_dog;_ylt=Akzb9az3JcT6iExFHdO8NgAZ.3QA)

Don't trust the cat . . .

Did someone say "fire" and "cat" in the same sentence?

Sounds like an out-and-out case of reverse racism to me. The Lab, Thumper, was black. We don't know the color of the cat, Princess. It could also be a case of profiling, because the accuser was a dog, while the accused was a cat.

AL, Jessie, Louis, where are you when we REALLY need you?:evilgrin:
