What kind of a guy takes the family dog along on vacation by loading said dog into a dog carrier and tying it onto the vehicle's roof rack?
Who would do such a thing for a few miles, let alone a 12 hour drive? And when confronted by evidence that the dog is in obvious distress, what kind of guy would simply hose off the dog and car and continue on the journey?
Mitt Romney, that's who.
In 2007, Neil Swidey and Stephanie Ebbert wrote an exhaustive seven part investigative story about Mitt Romney for The Boston Globe. In Part 4 of The Making of Mitt Romney, they tell a story of Mitt Romney and the family Irish Setter, Seamus.
In 1983 the Romney family was traveling from Boston to Ontario - a 12 hour trek - in their Chevy station wagon. As Swidey reports: Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. He'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog.
Then Romney put his boys on notice: He would be making predetermined stops for gas, and that was it.
The ride was largely what you'd expect with five brothers, ages 13 and under, packed into a wagon they called the ''white whale.''
As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.
Crisis management? When I first became aware of this story, I couldn't believe it was true. Now, knowing that it is a fact, I suggest that it provides a unique glimpse into his character and moral conscience.
Although I think it would be nuts for voters to base their presidential selection solely on this incident, it’s always struck me as a valuable window into how Romney operates. In everything the guy does, he functions on logic, not emotion.
Standards may have been different in 1983, however such actions certainly didn't come under the heading of kindness to animals. It calls into question this guy's basic sensitivity to other living creatures. Especially troubling is that when questioned about the incident these days, Romney laughs.
A guy who would do such a thing to a family dog that he "loves" and laugh about it, is not a guy I want holding any elective office. Let alone that of President of the United States.
In her article Dogs and Presidential Candidates for The Daily Beast, Leslie Bennetts notes that Ingrid Newkirk of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) describes the incident as torture. To which Romney replied that PETA has targeted him because he once went quail hunting, approved a rodeo as part of the Salt Lake City Olympics celebration and said:
They're not happy that my dog likes fresh air.
Have a look at this current day video from Fox News Sunday and listen to Romney's explanation to Chris Wallace:
It's Saturday, so time for another dog song from For Love of a Dog. Today's song is a golden oldie that is pretty wonderful. I've heard this song before, but I had no idea that it was written about a dog.
Shannon is a tribute to an Irish Setter. While he was a student at Brooklyn College, Henry Gross became a founding member of the rock and roll group the Sha Na Na. He wrote the song Shannon about the death of Beach Boy Carl Wilson's Irish Setter dog. Gross produced this song as a single which went gold and became a worldwide hit, reaching number 6 on the USA charts in 1976. The lyrics are just below this dog song video.
Grab a dog. Sit. Stay. Relax and enjoy Shannon performed by the Sha Na Na and accompanied by photos of Shannon, the Irish Setter dog. Scroll down to enjoy the lyrics, then check out the Pet Blogger Hop. Barking good pets blogs to explore!
ANOTHER DAY IS AT END
MAMA SAYS SHE'S TIRED AGAIN
NO ONE CAN EVEN BEGIN TO TELL HER
I HARDLY KNOW WHAT TO SAY
BUT MAYBE IT'S BETTER THAT WAY
IF PAPA WERE HERE I'M SURE HE'D TELL HER
SHANNON IS GONE I HOPE SHE'S DRIFTING OUT TO SEA
SHE ALWAYS LOVED TO SWIM AWAY
MAYBE SHE'LL FIND AN ISLAND WITH A SHADY TREE
JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OUR BACKYARD
MAMA TRIES HARD TO PRETEND THINGS WILL GET
BETTER AGAIN
SOMEHOW SHE'S KEEPING IT ALL INSIDE HER
BUT FINALLY THE TEARS FILL OUR EYES
AND I KNOW THAT SOMEWHERE TONIGHT
SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH WE REALLY MISS HER
SHANNON IS GONE I HOPE SHE'S DRIFTING OUT TO SEA
SHE ALWAYS LOVED TO SWIM AWAY
MAYBE SHE'LL FIND AN ISLAND WITH A SHADY TREE
JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OUR BACKYARD
I find the sight of an Irish Setter dog in motion simply breathtaking. Absolutely gorgeous dogs. I can't resist them in real life, and I can't resist creating one of a kind Irish Setter dog breed jewelry.
If you love an Irish Setter dog, the bracelet shown here was handcrafted with you in mind. It features a wonderful Irish Setter dog charm. The charm is not a flat cut out, but actually has dimension. This little Irish Setter dog sculpture is handmade of resin that is cast in a hand sculpted mould, then carefully air brush painted. True to AKC and UKC dog breed standards, highly detailed and absolutely beautiful.
I've combined this dog treasure with gorgeous earth tones Fancy Jasper gemstone beads and sterling silver. Beautiful greens, redish browns, golds and teal. In addition to the Irish Setter dog charm, other charms include a Fancy Jasper gemstone heart and a three dimensional silver dog bone. This handcrafted dog bracelet is one of a kind, just like your special Irish Setter dog. Show your love with a one of a kind dog breed bracelet.
Okay, raise your paw if you watched the National Dog Show on Thanksgiving day. (All paws to up at our house.). It's a family tradition at For Love of a Dog. We may miss some (or a lot) of the parade, but we never miss the dog show. This year we were rooting for the American Staffordshire to win best in show, because we think that dog breed can use all the positive press it can get. However, the truth is that we couldn't decide who we thought would win. We certainly enjoyed host, John O'Hurley's comments and passionate comments about the Irish Setter. I'm sure Irish Setter lovers were pretty happy with the winner, too.
Fabulous Irish Setter dog pin. These handmade dog breed pins (brooches) are like no other I've ever seen. Entirely made by hand by an American artist. First a hand carved sculpture is created which is then used to create a mould. Cast in resin, then hand air brush painted. They are then given a protective coating of lacquer so you can enjoy this dog breed jewelry for many years. Every effort is made to adhere to AKC and UKC dog breed standards. Frankly, they are amazing works of dog art. I've tried to show the sculptural details in the photos of this Irish Setter dog breed pin.
