Paragraph 2
Animal welfare officers phoned
in the building. They asked
to describe the animal. One resident mistook the croissant for a
of prey; another said the pastry was a kind of lizard. One welfare officer explained what happened. He said he went to the
estate where the residents lived to check on the
animal. He reported that he spotted a "brown
sitting on a lilac branch," and that its "brown coat was shining in the
". He added: "The poor little guy had no legs or
." When he discovered that the strange beast was a croissant, he was "almost swept off his
by a laughing attack". He said it was better to be safe than sorry and to report any sightings of
animals.
