McGruff the Crime Dog Arrested in Kitty Porn Sting
Written by Tom Leeman - Contributing Writer

Noted law enforcement icon McGruff the Crime Dog was arrested at a local coffeehouse last week where he had arranged to meet what he thought was an underage feline for a sexual encounter. "Fluffy", the feline ingenue he had hoped to meet, turned out to be an undercover officer who made contact with the famous child safety advocate while trolling an internet chat room called "Purrfect Partners".

After obtaining a search warrant, officials seized two computers from McGruff's apartment along with dozens of photos showing him engaged in illicit behavior with female kittens. Ironically, one of the photos portrays McGruff, noted for his slogan "Take A Bite Out Of Crime", playfully nipping one of the cats on the scruff of the neck.

Members of PETA are outraged by the incident and believe that the crime dog's actions send the wrong message. "He's supposed to be setting an example for our children," said PETA activist Joan Furry. "Just because he's an animal doesn't mean he can mistreat other animals."

But local supporters are quick to defend McGruff's actions. Jim Biber, owner of the Slug and Glug tavern said in an interview ''Whaddya expect? He's a dog for Christ's sake. Yeah, it's a little weird that he's goin' after those little kitty cats, but it's not like he's friggin' gay or something."

The shaggy crime fighter is scheduled to be arraigned in court next month and could face up to five years in a federal penitentiary. McGruff's lawyers, however, citing the defendant's clean record and contribution to society, are expected to ask for the minimum sentence of two years probation and community service, which would include cleaning out litter boxes at local animal shelters.
