Comments came in quickly. One person thought it was a rare mushroom.

Others thought it was the entrails of a wild animal.

But the woman with the dog in her profile picture explained everything. Her answer was short and… shockingly accurate:

“It’s just dog poop after eating paper towels. The body couldn’t digest them — and this is the result.”

I felt immediate shame and relief. Shame for my panic and vivid imagination.

And it’s funny – because I almost became the hero of a drama… because of a dog poop with paper!
