What if the dog ate the whole thing, and there were no remnants. Check the dog’s feces?

Forget the microscope, you can tell that Wade is guilty by the bullets he’s sweating.

DETENTION is in his future. That and a big fat F-.

I don’t know. Whether I am guilty or not, I am terrified and think I look guilty.

“Ah ha! The saliva on this paper comes from a Labrador retriever. Your dog’s DNA, which I have on file, reveals that you own a collie. So YOUR dog didn’t eat this! Detention!”

if they didn’t give so much homework there would be no need for the dog to eat it

Haha, in 5th grade my puppy chewed up a book we were supposed to be reading from for homework. The look on my teacher’s face when I told here was great! She had to believe me though, because I whipped out the destroyed book as evidence.

I happen to have a dog that loves to eat paper, so I have to be really careful with my college homework…lol

My mother had a cat that LOVED shredding paper. Fortunately, I was not living with them at that time.

My fellow-worker was going to cooking school, and regularly brought samples for us to eat. I told her she could tell her teacher her co-workers ate her homework!
