April 27, 2011 NY Times…
New York Times, April 27, 2011: Summarizing this story about celebrities and their misbehaving dogs: Samantha Ronson, the celebrity D.J. and former girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, was mortified last year when the news media learned that her bulldog, Cadillac, had attacked and killed a tiny Maltese at her West Hollywood apartment building.
Elizabeth Taylor’s dog “treated the floors of friends as fire hydrants.” Carl Paladino, while campaigning for governor of New York, suffered bad publicity “when his pit bull attacked another dog.” Paris Hilton’s Tinkerbell “was known to snap and bite.” In the White House, “the pit bull of Theodore Roosevelt was known for ripping the pants off a French ambassador. Buddy was the Clintons’ cat-attacking Labrador retriever… Barney, the Scottish terrier of George and Laura Bush, bit a journalist. My comment: privileged owners who spend little time controlling their dogs are the bad guys here.
“What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog.”
