Bush's Dog Barney Bites Media Reporter

6 November 2008

Sure, President Bush looks like he's dealing with the looming White House transition just fine, but apparently his dog Barney is having some issues.

Anne Schroeder Mullins at Politico reports, "Barney the Dog, that rambunctious little Scottie, bit a WH reporter today."

Reuters Reporter Jon Decker was treated by white House medical staff, because Barney had broke the skin and there was blood.


Commentary:

Barney seems to be what some people term, ‘fear biting’ and the only time personally, I have known a dog to do this; they are being subjected to some form of animal cruelty, usually by the owner.

I saved a dog years ago from being killed, because of his biting people out of fear for he had been severely abused. This dogs biting problem and a few others from his mistreatment diminished after about a year, with giving the dog a happy life.

Which even when he got in advanced age, he liked to take long morning walks just to himself; for he had a large yard at that time to walk in.

After saving this dog legally from an abusive owner, I had him for several years after. He passed away a very old dog, at 19 years old.
