I'm guessing this dog would vote against the Shamnesty bill that was up before the US congress then, eh?

My in-laws' old dog wouldn't let natives in the yard unless my father-in-law specifically accompanied them and told the dog to lie down. Which was especially annoying since half his brothers and sisters are native.

Yes, believe it or not, dogs can be racist.
