Author: The can came from the Religious Community Services Food Bank in Clearwater, a surprising place, for sure, to find a miracle food.
Air Force veteran Frank Viscido goes there for free foodstuff once a week. The service is a welcome supplement to his limited Social Security income.
Indeed, the can was boldly labeled: “Senior. Holistic Superfood.”
“Looked good,” said the grandfather of four.
But what the volunteer (a senior himself), Viscido and even three food bank sorters who handled the can did not see at first: the clues, and the catch.On the front of the can: “Healthy skin … and Coat.” Coat?
Viscido said he couldn’t help but smile when he read the following after searching for preparation instructions: “Superfoods every dog needs.”
Lightning struck: This. Is. Dog. Food.
Lisa Matzner, director of development for RCS, which provides food to about 7,000 people every month, said she was shocked to learn about the error.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of something like this. We don’t take pet food donations,” she said.
Matzner said she intends to post a photo of the can so volunteers can be on the lookout in the future.

NEW PORT RICHEY — A spat over prescription drugs turned ugly early Wednesday when Rachel Switzer lost a messy cat fight with her live-in girlfriend, authorities said.
Enraged that Switzer had refused to give her Roxicodone pills, Kristin Stiehler, 23, banged on the front door of their shared home and broke through the door of their bedroom, where Switzer was hiding, New Port Richey police said.
Then, police said, Stiehler picked up a cat litter box and attacked.
By the time the fight was over, Switzer was sprawled on the bed with cat feces on her face, hair and ears and cat litter coating her hair, police said.
Stiehler is being held at the Land O'Lakes jail without bail.

WESLEY CHAPEL — Deanne Elsholz said her husband urinated on the bathroom floor. David Elsholz just wanted to go back to sleep.
Deputies who arrived at their mobile home said the place was cluttered with Natural Light beer cans, and both husband and wife appeared to be drunk.
“What are you doing?” Deanne, 44, asked David, 50, when she heard his urine spraying the floor, according to what she told authorities. She said her husband then slapped her about the head with a towel and, in retaliation, she threw a glass from her night stand at his face. It hit him in the nose, a report states, and blood poured down his chest and arms.
Then, Deanne “ran into the bathroom and slipped on David’s pee,” the report states. She told deputies David kicked her in the ribs while she was on the ground, and she crawled to get her phone and called 911.
“David told her he didn’t want to argue and he just wanted to sleep.” Then she hit him with the glass, he told authorities.
Deanne was deemed the aggressor in the brawl and arrested. She is charged with domestic battery — something David has been charged with twice in recent years, according to the Pasco Sheriff’s Office. Deanne is being held without bail in the Land O’Lakes jail.

FWC spokeswoman Joy Hill told The Daytona Beach News-Journal that the black bear was struck and killed on Interstate 4 on Thursday or Friday. The men picked up the animal after it had died.
Hill says it was against the law to pick up the bear, which is considered a threatened species.
The men took the bear home but later discovered that officials were seeking the animal's remains. They called officials and reported the incident themselves.
The names of the two men weren't immediately released.

This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributedSix years ago, a part-time "party clown" in North Palm Beach pleaded guilty in federal court to eight counts of manufacturing child pornography and one count of possessing it. Records show David Deyo is currently serving a 17-1/2 year term at the Englewood Federal Correctional Institution in Colorado. Last week, his son Brandon Dayo, a 21-year old Air Force reservist, was charged with five counts of transmitting child pornography.
According to an affidavit by the Palm Beach County State Attorney, detectives found pictures of men involved in various sex acts with young girls as well as two videos of men raping young girls, which were eventually traced back to an Internet address at a home in Jupiter. The family there told detectives they'd allowed Deyo -- a school friend of their son's -- to live there after his inlaws, with whom he'd been living, tossed him out of their home after they caught him "inappropriately touching" his wife's 6-year old sister.
According to the Palm Beach Post, Deyo admitted to investigators that he had downloaded child pornography and he knew that some of the images depicted were of children as young as infants. He also told them that when he was 16, he'd been accused of "a lewd act" with a young nephew, and had gone to counseling sessions as an alternative to juvenile detention.
CITRUS PARK — Wolves, snakes and lizards were wasting away inside Winston Tsai's home, authorities said. Filth covered the floor and the stench wafted outside.
It was enough to put Tsai behind bars.
The 29-year-old was arrested Tuesday afternoon on felony animal cruelty charges after investigators found dozens of dead and dying exotic animals at his apartment, 5102 Belmere Parkway, Unit 1607. Creatures included snakes, lizards, spiders and two underweight hybrid wolves, said Hillsborough County Animal Services spokeswoman Marti Ryan.
Tsai was taken to the Hillsborough County Jail and later released on $6,000 bail.
