Burlington Pulls the Cruella DeVil Collection

Is your new fur-lined parka drawing an unusual amount of attention from the canine contingent? You may want to check its point of origin: If it's from Burlington Coat factory -- and before that, China -- your German shepherd's coat may actually be a German shepherd coat.
