From start to finish, this dog was nothing more than a prop.

Where are the animal rights groups? Shouldn't they be screaming that this dog had no business being loose and not in a safe, fenced environment?

Labrador retrievers are the greatest dog breed man has ever seen. Period.

DAMN STRAIGHT they are!

If it was Bush's dog I'd be reading how a Democrat must have murdered him.

No, not a Democrat, necessarily. The suspect would definitely be a liberal, though. Or a Muslim avenging his noble people. Or both.

He "just darted out in front of a car," said Officer Larry Green. The driver, whose name was not made public, was not at fault, police said.

Suicide. At least they didn't dump his body in Fort Marcy Park.

Buddy became one of the most photographed pets in the nation,
often seen playing on the White House grass or bounding into
a helicopter headed for Camp David.

Not anymore! Hardly a day goes by that we don't see the Bush's little cuties.

RE: Nicole's dog. Wasn't her dog named Cato? (I might be wrong.)

Well Buddy was probably sent out to cr$p on the neighbor's lawn. It's done. Poor dog didn't know any better, no bad dogs, just stupid owners. If he was sent out to the back yard to do his business, then someone would have to clean up. We can't have that at Castle Chappaqua.

regards

I'm sorry poor ole Buddy was killed by a car. I hope it was an instant death, and that he didn't suffer.

However, in a way, this is good news for the Klintoons, as it will no doubtedly get them some front page coverage for a while. Anything to keep them in front of the public seems to be their motto.

Goodness! I will be thankful if the day ever comes that these people just go away!

Labrador retrievers are the greatest dog breed man has ever seen. Period. They are gentle, smart, fun, great with children, fierce defenders of the home, excellent hunters, and utterly loyal.

You're right about that. We had a Black Lab for 12 years and had to put her down five years ago and I still miss her.

Actually Socks and Buddy were the only Clintons I ever would have trusted. I really think he was only a prop for photo ops. You never saw those moments with dog and master you see with the Bushes. I always felt sorry for their pets. Especially Buddy.

I really fell for the dog when he knocked old Bill on his rear end that one time. I remember saying "good dog."

"It's the president's desire to have one loyal friend in Washington."

Poor Buddy couldn't expect the same in return, could he?

Now all we need is that infamous pic of Buddy giving Clinton a Lewinsky, then we can all sing the BS classic "The Way We Were"

That's what I'm wondering. I'm sure there are bodyguards for the Clintons and security cameras around. It seem unlikely Buddy could really be running loose with no one's knowledge.

This sorry excuse for a man can't even be entrusted with the care of a dog. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, though.

Ol' Buddy was luckier than some other dogs.

Are they going to do an autopsy? Arkancide?
