I grew up with dogs and if we had the space would love having another. (Nasdaq and Sushi may not be quite as keen, but they'd adjust. Maybe.) I'm always cautious about petting strange dogs but shouldn't he have been kept away from strangers knowing his history? This is a dog that should not be allowed in any public places if he's such a nasty biter. Bite once and well, things happen. Twice is a pattern and shouldn't be tolerated. Obviously he's the product of a poor upbringing but we already knew that.
Turns out that when it comes to biting White House visitors, President Bush's dog Barney is a repeat offender.
Boston Celtics public relations director Heather Walker said Friday that Barney bit her wrist and drew blood as she tried to pat the Scottish terrier in September after a White House ceremony honoring the team's 17th NBA championship.
"It was very strange. I didn't expect him to bite me," Walker told The Associated Press.
Last week, Barney bit Reuters reporter Jon Decker's index finger when he reached down to pet the seemingly docile dog. Sally McDonough, a spokeswoman for first lady Laura Bush, said jokingly then of Barney: "I think it was his way of saying he was done with the paparazzi."
