Well, to be fair, the dog wasn’t coming up from Brooklyn getting all the Maine pure-breeds pregnant…so I see his point.
Though Jerry Brown is sadly in the same boat, as it relates to LePage , thank god for term limits.
Dogs are people, too, my friends.
I am sure those little dogs did not give proper respect to the alpha and therefore committed unpardonable acts of pushing back on a bully puppy.
The creepy thing in this story is that LePage named his dog “Vito.” Ok, it was really “Veto”, but I am sure he was thinking “Vito.”
Reminds me of a Tokugawa Shogun from a Japanese history class many years ago…
Owing to religious fundamentalism, Tsunayoshi sought protection for living beings in the later parts of his rule. In the 1690s and first decade of the 18th century, Tsunayoshi, who was born in the Year of the Dog, thought he should take several measures concerning dogs. A collection of edicts released daily, known as the Edicts on Compassion for Living Things (生類憐みの令 Shōruiawareminorei?) told the populace, inter alia, to protect dogs, since in Edo there were many stray and diseased dogs walking around the city. Therefore, he earned the pejorative title Inu-Kubō (犬公方:Inu=Dog, Kubō=formal title of Shogun).
I’m assuming the dog was a Republican.
A Russian Wolfhound who meddled in voting at the Westminster Show.
(But several Republican dogs were in on it.)
Oh this is precious. Had the dog been a brown skinned person there would be no pardon. I am a huge dog lover. And don’t know enough about this story. However, lepage flaunted the law that we all live by with aggressive animals. I guess it takes one to know one.
You know if that dog was named Smoothie or Shifty, he would already be dead
