Political dog treats
Petlane.com, an online purveyor of pet products, is featuring political dog biscuits on its web site – elephant-shaped treats (in a red bag) for Republican pooches, donkey-shaped ones (in a blue bag) for Democratic dogs.
How do you know which your dog is?
Petlane CEO and founder Lane Nemeth came up with these eight "unmistakable signs."
REPUBLICAN PETS:
1. Bark at passing neighbors and traffic; home security is very important to them.
2. Ears perk up when Fox News comes on.
3. Big spenders at the local pet store.
4. Strongly believe pet matrimony should only occur between two cats or two dogs.
5. Believe in the 2nd amendment right to bare teeth and claws.
6. Are for electric border fences around the yard.
7. Want national ID tags for all pets.
8. Advocate for the pet tracking chip - you can never have too much surveillance.
DEMOCRAT PETS:
1. Want universal veterinary care for all.
2. Want their treats for free.
3. Socialize with all breeds at the dog park.
4. Prefer their owner uses biodegradable poop bags.
5. Are very concerned with the rising cost of pet food.
6. Have the young puppy and kitten vote locked.
7. Want to end the war of dogs vs. cats once and for all.
8. Think of Ralph Nader as the dog catcher.
If your dog falls somewhere in the middle, don’t worry: The low-fat peanut butter and honey biscuits can also be ordered in bipartisan cases – six $8.99 bags of each.
The biscuits are made by Capitol Dog Bakery, which donates $1 of each sale to the Washington Humane Society.
