Live tree frog found in Costco salad

tree-frog-costco-sgvt.jpgA South Pasadena woman picked up a salad at Costsco last night and found——well, let her and and the San Gabriel Valley Tribune tell the story. "Liya Ma, a special education teacher, said when she picked up the plastic salad container at the Alhambra Costco she noticed something was strange. 'I saw two little eyes looking at me,' Ma said. 'I screamed and I dropped it.'"

Sue? Nah, Ma asked the store if she could keep the little tree frog as a pet. It now goes by Dave.
