She deliberately lied about what was in the box.
****
The bizarre incident occurred last Tuesday. The woman, Stacey Champion, put the Poodle-mix pup into a sealed box for shipping.
She did not tell the postal workers what was inside, but did let them know that the box could make some sounds because it contained a toy robot.
Champion left the post office and a short time later, postal workers became suspicious when the box fell from the counter.
Postal inspectors were contacted so that the contents of the box could be viewed - what they discovered shocked them all.
Inside...a panting puppy.

Yes, I re-read the old news. She did not tell the truth.
However, it’s possible she simply wanted an easy, cheap way to send (to whom? anyone ever ask?) the dog and may’ve been dumb enough not to realize what may happen.
Lied or not, I really don’t know that she intended to be cruel to the dog. There are much simpler ways than taking the effort to mail it and paying for it.
