UPDATE 1 PM: NEVER MIND! This was a true story that has now passed into urban legend! The dogs got homes months ago! It's on Snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cookiecoco.asp
In the interests of transparency, the original story follows after the jump --remember, nothing to see here!
This heartbreaking email has been making the rounds, and we thought we'd give it wide exposure -- two young labs need a new home and each other:
Young - age 3 male & female - well cared for. Family losing home. Desperate
to find loving home. Already housebroken, trained, love kids, neutered, up to
date on shots....what more could you ask for. But must stay together.

"As many of you know, we are moving in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have
still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco . We're not able
to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been desperately trying to find
a home for both of them 'together'. They were raised together and pine
without each other. The Lab rescue have already said that they would probably
separate them, so this is my last resort.
Recently I tried to take Coco out in my car alone and she TOTALLY refused to
even get into the car without Cookie.....!!!! She absolutely pulled back on
her haunches until Cookie was by her side. Both doggies are in great health,
have been spayed and have ID chips implanted under the skin.
Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco will be 3 April 1st. Cookie is my
mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed. Coco is adorably funny and
lives for her "ball." She also loves the water..... Cookie loves lots of
attention. Both doggies are loyal and love to walk. They have been raised
with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and have survived Sammy's
constant hugging and love of 'dress-up', so they are fantastic family dogs.
This is by far one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make,
but under the circumstances I have no choice.
Please, please forward these pics to all you find a great home for these
fabulous doggies. They are just adorable and it's heartbreaking to let them
go. In a perfect world, I hope that we could find someone local so that we
can still keep in touch and visit them. I pray that someone, somewhere can
help us keep Cookie and Coco together, and love them just as much as we
do.Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.kjmorris74@yahoo.com
