Seamus Story Dogs Romney

Wall Street Journal: “Mitt Romney’s long-gone dog’s last ride has dominated headlines this month. From the New Yorker cover depicting Rick Santorum riding on Mr. Romney’s car roof in a doghouse to Washington Post columnist Chris Cilizza’s stab at dog-crate deconstruction, Seamus the Irish Setter’s ride on the Romney’s station wagon roof is the story that wouldn’t die, even though the dog itself did decades ago.”

Boston Globe: “Political crusaders have long sought to lift up the downtrodden, comfort the afflicted, and empower the defenseless. Scott Crider, the founder of Dogs Against Romney, says he fits squarely into this grand tradition. His mission: Make sure every American voter knows that once, 29 years ago, Mitt Romney drove for 12 hours to Canada with the family’s Irish setter, Seamus, in a crate on the roof.”
