Shelter Dog Hank Is The Main Suspect In The Fuzzy Purple Hippo Murder Case
Hank was supposed to be the shelter's happy, bouncy Lab, the kind of dog who turns every toy into a best friend. Instead, one purple stuffed hippo became the center of a very dramatic mystery, and Hank suddenly looked like the main suspect.
The four-year-old pup loved playing with his plush companion, but something happened to the hippo that sent the whole shelter into overdrive. What followed was part rescue story, part comedy, and all kinds of adorable.
By the time the dust settled, Hank's name was cleared, and the little hippo had a story of its own.
Hank is a beautiful four-year-old Labrador, bouncy and bubbly, and super playful like most young dogs. He loved to play and spend time with his hippo, and it seemed as though they would be together forever... until...
The Purple Hippo Was Brutally Attacked, and It Seemed Hank Was the Culprit!

Though Hank looked guilty, he never cracked under the pressure of interrogation. The hippo underwent immediate surgery and was expected to make a full recovery.
The Fox Valley Humane Association launched a full investigation into who committed this act.
The hippo even saw a therapist to talk through the accident. They discussed the hippo's relationship with Hank, and luckily, the hippo had no hard feelings toward Hank and still loved him very much.
No charges were laid against Hank, but even so, the shelter had picketers arrive in the streets to plead for his innocence!
(Cutest picketer ever.)
The police were even brought in to check out the crime scene! The sniffer dog worked its little paws off to catch the culprit!
In the end, not only was Hank found innocent, but he was also a hero!
Good work, Hank! Thanks to this amazing story, Hank and his hippo were adopted by a loving family and are now living happily ever after!
