For decades, students across the country have offered up the classic excuse, "Dog ate my homework." But now, a letter carrier in Smithfield, Virginia is saying, "Dogs ate my lunch." And the story that unfolded has amused thousands of people on social media.
In June, Carol Jordan, who owns a five-acre farm in Isle of Wight, Virginia, stopped at her mailbox and discovered a handwritten note there from the woman who delivers her family's mail.

Just look at these sweet kids! They do look guilty!! But they're Labs and, bless their hearts, Labs usually know when they've done something wrong.
Btw, the article says they have to sleep outside but I think, like all pups, they should get to sleep inside. I know y'all agree.

Hi, have you read the news or looked at the internet or just walked past CNN long enough to read more than two words at the bottom of the screen? Yeah? Then you know that everything is terribleeverything except these two dogs that we dont even deserve.
Bear and Bull are both six-year-old Labrador Mastiffs and theyre good boys, even though they have a tendency to get into trouble. Their owner Carol Jordan, rescued the brothers from a high-kill shelter when they were puppies, and it seems like theyve made her life more enjoyableand slightly more complicatedever since. She recently came home to find a pastel-colored note from the US Postal Service in her mailbox. "Our immediate thought was, 'What did the boys do now?'" she told CBS News.
The boys ate a mail carrier, is what they did. No, wait, thats not right. But they did climb into the mail truck and helped themselves to her lunch.
Hey, I drove up to deliver a package, and both of the dogs crawled into my truck they got into my lunch and ate an egg and some carrots and some pumpkin seeds, the mail carrier wrote. I don't know if that will upset their tummies, just FYI." (Apparently the dogs didnt eat the carrots; they spit some half-chewed bits onto the grass, which was enough evidence to convict them both of being the cutest thieves ever.)
