Mutt & Jeff Spy Ring busted!

In Lebanon, even the dogs are considered spies according to this Ynet News Online article. Two white dogs “infiltrated” the Lebanese border from Israel on Saturday:
According to reports, the two crossed the border from the town of Metula, in northern Israel, to the village of Kila, in southern Lebanon. Locals notified security officials and a patrol was sent to the scene.

The soldiers examined the dogs and found tags with Hebrew writing on them. The "infiltrators" were then transferred to a local police station, where it was decided they would be taken to the Lebanese army headquarters in Beirut.

The Daily Star reported that some Lebanese have even called for the dogs' deaths as revenge for "Israeli violations of Lebanon's territory."
Just in case you think the Israeli media is spinning the twist on this story here is the link from the relatively moderate Lebanon Daily Star. All of which leaves me to ask the question - what’s next? Can we expect that lizards, cats or birds crossing the border into Lebanon should be assumed to be in cahoots with their Mossad overmasters?
