Well not sure if you have heard this one before.. you probably have, but here it is anyway..lol



A rich old woman was visiting Mexico when a small ugly dog approached her on the sidewalk. She couldn't resist his sad eyes, so she took him back to her hotel and fed and bathed him. For the remainder of the trip the lady and her dog were inseparable. When the time came to return home, she smuggled the small dog over the border so she could keep him. Within a few days he got sick and she immediately rushed him to the vet, but there was nothing that could be done, he died in the office. After she stopped crying, the grief-stricken woman asked the vet what kind of dog he had been. The shocked vet looked at her and said: "Lady, that's no dog, it's a Mexican Sewer Rat!"

If that had happened to me, I'd scream like a 12 year old girl and bathe for a week. Anyways, pretty good story.

That is weird

Other versions report that the "dog" was rabid

Hahahaha I've heard that. It's funny. That would be something to happen to me.

I remember hearing that story about 40 years ago, at summer camp when i was a kid i think! An oldie but a goodie!

Ewww, I would be life WTF!

Lady, that's no Mexican Sewer Rat... that's a Chihuahua!!

Sorry. I couldn't resist. Anyway, I've heard this one before. But rats make intelligent pets. My best friend's brother had one for years; they're surprisingly clean.

That's no Chupacabra, it's a Mexican Sewer Rat!

Yeah, I've heard it.

She would of probly kiss'd it thinking it was a dog and shower with it sleep with it

That lady probly went home took 24 hour bath

Heheheh. They sure do look like rats.

Who showers with their dog?

Weird.

It's hard to believe that a wild-born rat could ever have the personality of a dog starving for love and attention. Very entertaining story though, I'd not heard this one yet.

Dude thats an old one.

But a good one!

It sounds more like a joke.I haven't heard it hahaha

either way, it's still the same gross thing

i have heard of that and i have no clue what i beleve because if it was true the cops would check her coat and......i just dont know.

Sounds like a joke?

I really don't think anyone could mistake a rat for a dog.

you never know.... maybe the rat ate someting toxic and mutated. but whatever, i'v heard this story too. it was in those, "scary stories to tell in the dark" books. man i miss reading those...

rats can be quite cute if they get a proper bath. Though I don't like the tail

i have a book about him

i have some of those books

here's another version:

This woman and her husband go to Mexico. Outside their motel room, the lady notices a strange-looking small doggie. She feeds it for a couple of nights and eventually she lets the dog sleep in the room with them. She falls in love with this ugly, but adorable pooch and decides to take it home at the end of their vacation.

She carries the animal in a blanket onto a bus that is taking them to the airport. The new pet is licking her face as she snuggles with it. She notices a local older man on the bus looking at her. She asks the man if he knows what possible breed of dog she has grown to love. He tells her that it's not a dog she is cuddling, but it is actually a large type of Mexican rat.

Uh, you know people who do this? Honestly, who the heck showers with their dog?

Here is another one... This guy is stranded out cause his yucatan cruise ship sunk. a small dog comes swimming toward him so he picks the dog out of the water thinking it must be from the cruise. he only has limited food and water so he rations it with the dog. Three days later they are out of food and water so the guy resorts to killing the poor dog and eating it. he is found the next day and says he'll pay all animal cruelty fines. the captain of the boat that found him tells him its okay cuz he just ate a large breed of sewer rat.

Yuck
