Puggle from Portland: Depressed Despite Sausages

Apparently, the people at the Portland Mercury added a puggle to their staff. Unfortunately, this puggle puppy named Marshall seems to be a little depressed.

"Marshall is a 15-month-old puggle (pug/beagle breed) who has suffered from acute mental depression since the age of eight weeks. His current symptoms are as follows: listlessness, low energy, general malaise, excessive sleeping, indifference to dogs of the opposite sex, and unexplained pooping in the Mercury's lobby."

The folks at the paper decided to treat the puggles depression by offering him a can of Vienna sausages.

The results were unsuccessful.

If you want to read about puggle psychology, done in a very amusing tongue in cheek manner, you should check out the tale (or is it tail) of Marshall the Depressed Puggle here.
