When all else fails, make dogs your spokesmen. It worked for Nixon.

The New Checkers Press Offensive - those are HOLIDAY dogs!



Free Barney and Ms. Beasley!

1. Who let the dogs out? woof, woo-woof. Who let the dogs out?

Three of them in one shot, too.

2. You mean George didn't slip in the oil again?

3. That's because most people love dogs! For these little Scotties,

I think most people feel sorry for them...for having to live with such a terrible family!

4. I have to say.. I think Barbara is a dog lover..

at least she shows tenderness to the pooch.. It's not her fault she has creep parents:)

[stevedeshazer]

5. I give her that, that's a good observation.

Her interaction with them looks natural, not forced like her daddy.

6. Did you see the picture where Chimpy drops the dog on it's head?

These people even torture their pets.

7. Yes, I should have included it

Collect the whole set!

8. I agree. He can't even hold the dog correctly.

Poor doggie.

[Boomer]

12. Poor Barney!

He looks haunted and desperate in those photos. You can see the thought balloon forming "Will somebody please get me out of here?!"

Scotties, unlike other gentler breeds, are not overly sentimental. They have a low tolerance for rough handling and can be wary of people with neurological disabilities. W. falls in both categories, so I'm not surprised Barney always looks alarmed when locked in his owner's embrace.

9. I have to admit, I like those dogs.

Who says I'm partisan?

[stevedeshazer]

11. The dogs are adorable

And that's the point! :)

If I had a public image problem, ol' Charlie (my border terrier) would be my spokesman 24/7, because he's much better looking than I am.
