Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has currently come under fire from animal lovers for what is being dubbed the "Mitt Romney dog on roof" incident, in which he admitted to putting his dog on the roof of his car for a 12-hour car trip in 1983.
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney might have his hands full with PETA and other animal lovers after events involving his family dog from over 20 years ago resurfaced.
Apparently, Romney took his family dog, an Irish Setter named Seamus, on a 12-hour car trip in 1983 tied to the roof of his car in what is being dubbed the "Mitt Romney dog on roof" incident.
What's more is that Romney actually admitted to the act in an interview on Fox News, and tried to explain that Seamus enjoyed riding on the roof. He asserted that, with a car full of five children, the dog was probably more comfortable up top than he would have been if he was in the car.
What Romney obviously didn't know is that, as the interviewer points out, putting a dog on the roof of a car (in a kennel or otherwise) is considered cruel and inhumane in the state of Massachusetts. Whoops...
