Charles Jenkins’ dog
I haven’t seen anything in the Japanese press, but this Straits Times story is a giggle anyway. According to the ST, Japanese pundits were expecting to concentrate on one thing when Mr Jenkins stepped off his flight in Jakarta:
But just hours before Mr Jenkins was due to arrive at the airport in Pyongyang, and the dog-watching could begin, a newspaper reported that the telltale pooch was already dead.
‘Both of them are dead of old age,’ the Yomiuri Shimbun quoted a Japanese government official as saying, referring to the dog and its predecessor. — Reuters
I may be deliberately obtuse and start calling the neighbour’s noisy dog “Reuters” too.
