Why doesn't Trump have a pet? [CNN Worried]
CNN ^ | Updated 12:25 PM ET, Fri December 29, 2017 | Randi Kaye, CNN

As a reporter for "Anderson Cooper 360," I live my life on a deadline. Plane to catch. Story to write. Live report to deliver. It's always exciting, but also can be so stressful!

But in the scheme of things, my job as a reporter for CNN is a lot less stressful than, say, the job of President. These days, the leader of the free world has a lot to worry about.

North Korea.

Middle East Peace.

Terrorism.

The Russia Investigation.

I can't imagine the stress of that job! Luckily, after a long and stressful day I have my golden retriever, Gatsby, to come home to. He always greets me with tail wags and wet kisses. Then he curls up at my feet with his head resting on my toes. If I didn't need both hands to type this article, I would surely have one of them on him. Petting him from head to toe is the best stress reliever!

Which is why that I think you, Mr. President, would be wise to get a dog and start 2018 off on the right foot (or paw, if you will).

You would benefit from owning a dog in so many ways. It's scientifically proven!

Studies show that playing with or petting an animal can increase levels of the stress-reducing hormone oxytocin and decrease production of the stress hormone cortisol. Don't you want more of those feel-good chemicals in your brain?

All those nights you reportedly spend alone, pacing around the White House in that bathrobe would be in the past. A loyal companion would be at your side, and with just a few pats on the head your stress from the day would slip away.

Liberal CNN is now crying that Trump doesn't own a dog as per white house tradition.

Little does CNN know Trump already owns a pet...

It's called CNN and he makes them take brisk walks daily just like a dog

Last I remember, one of Obama's dogs crapped all over the White House. Probably why President Trump put in new carpet.

GW didn't own a dog. TJ didn't own a dog.

There is no such tradition.

Someone that is very busy and rarely home is selfish to have a pet that would just be neglected.

but cnn doesn’t care about the welfare of the animal

Maybe he wants to be fair to the dog, as he may not have the time to give it needed attention, and doesn’t want it hit by a car by neglect.

🙀 The press is his pet. They fall all over themselves like affection seeking puppies.

The President doesn't need a pet. He has CNN to play with.

CNN must think that by dangling stupidities in front of us that somehow we will forget about all their rotten-to-the-core favorite politicians.

Trump has 150,000,000 pets. The great thing about the current herd of dogs my wife, daughter, don have thrust upon me is seeing them be domesticated ( loosely ) and react to commands in a pleasing or predictable way.

Is this not what President Trump does with the political opposition? Reminds me of the Tony Curtis movie when the mother shares her secret of a happy marriage - How to train your dog. Great comedy.

Yes - the press is his pet. They are his female dogs.

Pets require total commitment from their human companion. Perhaps Trump has been waiting until he retires, if that day ever comes. He’ll probably be working forever!
