This is about as believable as “the dog ate my homework.”

At least I know dogs that would do that...

One time my dog actually did eat my homework and I informed my teacher that he'd never believe the truth.

He said it actually happened to him once too and let me redo it. I'm lucky as fuck.

I do have a fear of something like this happening and do not let my cat into the room when I'm working for this reason though.

I could believe it.
