White House First Dog nipped reporter

Reuters television White House correspondent Jon Decker reports that President Bush's dog Barney(a Scottish terrier), going on a walk this morning on the North Lawn, let his reaction to the news show. He "bit my right index finger this morning(Nov 7,2008) -- as I reached down to pet him," Decker said. The bite broke skin and the wound was bleeding enough to prompt White House physician Dr. Richard Tubb to treat Decker with antibiotics. He will also be getting a tetanus shot. Barney won't have to worry about bothersome reporters much longer. The Bush administration ends in 75 days, and the president is headed back to Texas. Source:The Washington Post's Al Kamen

"Well, one should never pet uninvited especially a stranger!! Doesn't matter if you have the same type at home." Sexual assault or what!!, could be in Barney mind.
