A great article in the New York Sun, an obituary for Zeus, a search and rescue dog who died at the age of 11. Zeus' credentials included September 11th, but also the Oklahoma City bombing. Lots of articles in the Sun concerning dogs. Someone there must have a penchant. Or, perhaps, it's just part of their political viewpoint. I think it's easy to construct an argument that conservatives tend to be dog people (straightforward, hard working, honest, loyal, responsible citizens) and liberals tend to be cat people (coniving, dependent, high maintenance). And there's that whole thing about John Ashcroft hating cats. I bet he likes dogs.
