The real question of the day is not which lucky animal lover will get to adopt 

snatched from the jaws of postal death by workers who spotted him en route to Georgia in a sealed  box.

No the real question is if news coverage about this puppy is finally over today.

Everyone loves a cute animal story with a happy ending - particularly when it involves a rescue, and fodder for universal finger-pointing (What kind of person mails a puppy! Killing in self defense justified? Maybe. Mailing a puppy? Never.)

Unless Guess alerts police to a boy in a well, or  solves the state budget crisis - there doesn't seem to be much more to report after 

 of today's drawing in Minneapolis.  One can only hope a dog that people line up to adopt will have the best shot at a post-postal incident life.  End of story...or at the very least until the anniversary of the adoption of Guess.
