If Bravo were an alert, head-high field Golden, with his shoulder glued to Panetta's left knee, prancing a little as he heeled and watching for birds (or whatever) to fly out, now that might actually be a pretty neat dog for a SoD to have.
(That's a TopBrass dog. No better field Goldens.)
But it's obvious that Panetta doesn't have the discipline, ability, or knowledge to produce that dog. Which doesn't speak well for him.
“Maybe it’s ‘nothing says strong sense of national security like a loves-everyone, nose-in-everything, leash-pulling, UNTRAINED Golden!”
Indeed. I have virtually no respect for people that have no control of their dogs. (Note to self- Step away from the keyboard and don’t rant about dog clothes, strollers, purses or retractable leashes....)
