US Open's April Fools' Day prank about dogs is pissing everyone off

There are some things you just don't joke about on April Fools' Day, and adding puppies to the US Open is apparently one of them.

On April 1, nearly two million people who follow the US Open's Twitter account were betrayed by a breaking news announcement that said the US Open planned to add puppies to the ballperson team in this year's tournament.

Naturally, everyone was delighted by the idea of pups chasing down tennis balls at the US Open, but once people realized the announcement was a joke for April Fools' Day, things got ugly.
