"My dog ate my passport"
A Wisconsin teenager using a classic excuse for evading schoolwork missed a class trip to Peru despite his tale being true: The dog ate his passport. Officials at Chicago's O'Hare airport told 17-year-old Jon Meier the chewed-on document was fine, but authorities in Miami rejected it and wouldn't let him board the southbound aircraft.
His family's 1-year-old golden retriever, Sunshine, chewed a corner of the document, obscuring some numbers. Meier couldn't get another passport in time to join the trip with his Spanish class from Eau Claire North High School. The 12-day trip ended Monday.
Meier says he can't blame anyone, not even Sunshine: "I love her too much."

wow can't imagine how wierd that is. usually thats a big lie we use but they never work. i would hate to be in his shoes.
awww! That's kind of sad that he missed out on the trip, but its also really funny because usually dogs eat homework...not passports. Poor Jon. Oh well, now maybe he knows not to leave valuable things lying in reach of a dog's mouth. :)
Wow, we usually say things like "My dog ate my homework". But I have never heard of "my dog ate my passport"....That is just crazy!
Wow, I would be REALLY made if my dog ate my passport especially if i was going to Spain. Jon really missed out that time. I would hope he learned though to keep important things like that in a safer spot.
That would really suck! I would hate to be that kid being so happy that you get to go on a cool trip and turns out you can't because your dog ate your passport. See when we tell our teachers that our dog ate something it's most likely true. My friends dog ate her homework on time lol thought I would tell you that.
Wow, that would really stink. I would be really mad if i were that student. I'm surprised that dog did that i would be really mad if my dog ate something important like that.
