That certainly brings to mind the experience of Seamus, the family's Irish Setter, and his reaction to being stuck in an animal carrier strapped to the top of a station wagon during a 12-hour trip from Boston to Ontario. From the article, "Romney's Cruel Canine Vacation" (by Ana Marie Cox; June 27, 2007; Time):

...Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was less circumspect. PETA does not have a position on Romney's candidacy per se, but Newkirk called the incident "a lesson in cruelty that was ... wrong for [his children] to witness...Thinking of the wind, the weather, the speed, the vulnerability, the isolation on the roof, it is commonsense that any dog who's under extreme stress might show that stress by losing control of his bowels: that alone should have been sufficient indication that the dog was, basically, being tortured." Romney, of course, has expressed support for the use of "enhanced interrogation" techniques when it comes to terrorists; his campaign did not return repeated calls and emails about the treatment of his dog.[/list][/size]

Ann Romney Says She'll Work With Troubled Teens as First Lady

At a campaign stop in Iowa, Ann Romney, wife of GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney, said working with "at risk" kids would be the cause she devotes herself to if she becomes first lady.

"At risk youth has been a concern of mine and love of mine for a lot of years," she said.

Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, hinted that his wife would choose to work with troubled young people if he were elected president as he campaigned in Florida earlier this week.
