The reporter intended the anecdote that opened part four of the Boston Globe's profile of Mitt Romney to illustrate, as the story said, "emotion-free crisis management": Father deals with minor — but gross — incident during a 1983 family vacation, and saves the day. But the details of the event are more than unseemly — they may, in fact, be illegal.

PETA will speak up any time now if they haven’t already.
almost a sceen from the movie VACATION
Weird, if true. However, it reads like a moonbat media hit piece.
Junk hit piece that has already been discussed in this thread

1983?
Romney got it mixed up. Grandma goes on the roof and the dog is tied to the back bumper.
You mean it’s not true?
this is the umpteeth time this has been posted. enough already with this non story nonsense. It’s a friggen’ dog, not grandma!
OMG. This only proves the Democrats are getting worried about Romney. If he was a Democrat and favored abortion this story would not have seen the light of day.
Did the dog die? Probably enjoyed the refreshing air and not having to restrict his personal hygiene movements.
:)
I am not even going to read this just make the comment that media double standards rule the roost.
To wit: “Put some ice on that.”
Will Hillary’s treatment of White House travel office staffers get the same media attention?
You think they are desperate for any dirt on Mitt if they are scraping the bottom of the barrel with this? LOL!
Anyway, my dogs always love hanging their heads out of the window feeling the wind in their faces. The dog was probably in heaven.
Oh my, what a great point. Partial birth abortion OK, but dog in crate enjoying the wind NOT.
No it's blown out of proportion. THOUSANDS of people transport their dogs in carriers. Usually in the backs of trucks that are just as outdoors as the roof of cars. Dogs are transported in carriers in the baggage of airlines.
No it is not cruelty. If it were my dogs wouldn't be happy to jump up into the carrier when I walked outside and said "kennel up". What is cruelty is NOT having a dog in a carrier in the back of a truck. I've had plenty jump out of the back and even out of car windows and break legs, something that would have never happened if they were in a carrier.
The major contributor to this "article" was a representative from PETA.
So yes it probably happened. Mitt Romney probably put his dog in a dog carrier and strapped the carrier down to the roof of the station wagon. In reality though the hit piece is spun so it sounds much worse then it actually is.
Dog do like a bit of air... not that much air though...
Hey, Chevy Chase strapped his dead aunt to the roof of his car on vacation and nobody said boo.
Sparky Romney
