Martha Stewart's dog shuffles off mortal coil

Martha and dogTelevision icon Martha Stewart has suffered a family tragedy when her dog Paw Paw passed away from renal failure. He was almost 13 dog years old.

The dog's full name was "Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow". He was a 60 pound chow and had appeared on Martha's television programs a few times.

I admit I am neither a fan of dogs nor a fan of Martha but I find any death of a beloved pet to be tragic. All this being said, the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if we're being told the entire truth of the situation. I have a few alternate theories on Paw Paw's death:

  • Suicide. What dog really wants to go through life named "Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow"? Since the breed originates from Asia, it could be interpreted as racist. The dog might have been shamed from being a stereotype.
  • Murder. The Martha Mafia may have hastened the dog's demise in an attempt to boost ratings through sympathy and to have that special "doggy funerals" episode.
  • The dog faked its own death and is now touring the country with Elvis.
TV Squad extends its sympathies to Martha and Paw Paw's family.
