Have you been wondering what kind of dog the various presidential candidates are most like? Tribune Co. knows you have. And while it may have laid off a buttload of veteran cops and court reporters at its now mostly pretend newspapers, it does have a dogs writer at the Baltimore Sun to satisfy your canine-candidate curiosities. (Let the Eukanuba ads roll in!) The results are as follows:
John McCain = Pug
"They will do whatever it takes to get what they want, often using playful or clever tactics."
Barack Obama = Great Dane
Has "an appearance of being very noble and dignified" and "can be trained for protection work"
Mike Huckabee = Beagle
"Its favorite habits—overeating and making a mess"
