I’m not saying that electing Mitt Romney will be devastating to dogs because Mitt Romney puts his dog on the roof of his car like luggage.  I’m not saying that.

Oh hell, yes I am.

If you will put your dog somewhere you wouldn’t even put your laptop, then you’re a sick person.

Y’all, the Texas Lege did one good thing last session – they tightened laws on dog breeders.  Breeders have to provide humane treatment for their dogs including outdoor time and keeping them from becoming matted and sick.

So what do people who don’t like government regulation into their private torture of animals do?  They dump their dogs.

Residents in rural Flower Mound, near Stonecrest Road and Highway 377, called police about 1 a.m. Tuesday. Dozens of Maltese mixed-breeds were running loose along the road.

Animal control scooped up 51 pooches in about an hour. They all needed a good bath — some had fur so matted they could barely walk, according to police …

The night after that, a herd of cocker spaniels turned up in Denton County.

There is a real special place in hell for someone who would do that.  And if you can catch them, Truman will pee on their leg.
