I received this email awhile back and before doing any research got a little worried. I have 3 dogs that I love dearly, they're my children since I do not have any of those! ;o) I also use the Swiffer WetJet so of course I was a little freaked out. Anyway, I googled the first 2-3 sentences and found an article on Snopes.com (full URL: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/swiffer.asp). Much to my satisfaction I found that this was actually an email hoax going around and that my pets were not in any danger if they walked across my floor after using the Swiffer! This myth, along with a few others, was also on one of the sites given to us in our assignment, http://www.scambusters.org/microsoftemailbetatest.html. ~Mallory Crowner "Dogs are our link to paradise.
