I'm going to pull a Dubya. That story about the dog is an historical authentic rumour. Nakhla has been blamed for a death of a dog even if that dog never been produced. It still may turn up someday once a thorough search has been conducted by the experts in lost pets.

the piece of Mars or the bones of the dog... Hope the bones never hit
Ebay...

Charles,
Walter Branch has kept a detailed record of persons and things that
meteorites have reportedly struck:
http://www.branchmeteorites.com/metstruck.html
I also have list of newspaper accounts of meteorites killing persons:
http://home.earthlink.net/~magellon/news1.html
To complicate matters, a hoaxer working for UP initiated
most of the early newspaper 'death by meteorite' stories:
http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2003-March/018369.html

I do not know. There have been so many hoaxes...
Unless stories are corroborated, I do not think they are taken
seriously.
I have not been privileged to read "Rain of Iron and Ice" but hope to
do so in future.
My reference "Uh oh" is to a unending debate between Kevin Kechinka and
Ron Baalke over the 1911 death of the Egyptian dog.
Best,
Ken
