I wish I hadn’t voted for Romney, but the guy was a money man — would he really be getting dogs for research purposes? Also, the thing never discussed in the dog on the roof story is how many other people drove with dogs in carriers on their car roofs. Maybe that wasn’t so rare a thing back then. I don’t know.
The story pointed to when he was a young student doing research. I used to drive a lot between states and in MA. NEVER have I seen a dog carrier on a car roof. Hire a driver and let Romney sit in a cage on the roof. Then I’d vote for his compassion.
