Pure PHOTO OP!
Just to make the lynching squad appear ‘likable’ by the unknowing.
Guess they believe people will say,
“Petting doggies, how cute! They can’t be bad. Bad people don’t pet dogs...Trump doesn’t have a dog...hmmm”.
Laf. What a crock. Hope they get bit.
“Bit”? Hell I hope some Great Dane falls in just with Schiff’s leg..
I think you nailed it.
This fashion for therapy animals seems to have become — well, just what I said, a fashion or fad.
When I was a kid, the only therapy animals were seeing-eye dogs and everyone understood what they were there for.
Now, it seems like I’m reading about therapy animals in every news cycle. I think one of the airports in California even has a therapy pig.
I’m also reading that some people are trying to game the system by putting “service dog” tags on their pets, when they haven’t been trained up to service dog standards at all.
And it doesn’t exactly instill confidence in the system that Capitol Hill staffers need to pet cute critters to ease their stress.
Snowflakes! Millennial weaklings! Have they never heard of alcohol?
The dogs are no doubt more intelligent and better trained.
