BEYONCE CLEARED BY PETA FOR DOG CAPER

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals bosses have closed their investigation on pop singer Beyonce's pet shih tzu after learning reports that the star had abandoned her dog are un-true. Internet gossip reports suggested Beyonce had dumped Munchie with staff at her record label in New York City a year ago, after growing tired of his misbehaving ways, but officials at the animal rights group have discovered there's no truth to the rumors at all. The PETA people wanted to make sure Beyonce hadn't abandoned her pet, and that the dog wasn't just a music mascot at Columbia, so they made calls and investigated the claims. And now they're happy that Beyonce hasn't dumped her beautiful pet dog. A spokeswoman for PETA says, "We've had an up and down relationship with Beyonce over her past fur-wearing, but lately it's been on the ups, as she hasn't been seen in fur the past two winters. "We were happy to learn from Beyonce's rep that, as we suspected, the Munchie tale is far from the truth, and that the dog hasn't even been to the record company's offices in months." The singer's publicist has told the PETA researchers that Munchie is "a pampered pooch whom everyone adores," adding Beyonce and her cousin, the dog's main caretaker, are "still crazy in love with him."The spokeswoman says, "Because they travel quite a bit, Munchie is usually left with family or friends. Never at the record company. "We are glad to hear that Beyonce isn't leaving her baby boy behind, and we're certainly happy to hear that Munchie is irreplaceable to his guardians."
