Remember Seamus? The Romney’s pet dog that was strapped on the roof of their car for a 1983 trip to Ontario Canada – a trip so horrifying to the poor pooch that the dog ultimately defecated on himself as the Romneys sped along the highway. Well according to Ann Romney, Shamus loved being on that roof.
“The dog loved it,” Romney told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in an interview. “He would see that crate and, you know, he would, like, go crazy because he was going with us on vacation. It was to me a kinder thing to bring him along than to leave him in the kennel for two weeks.”
“Once, he — we traveled all the time — and he ate the turkey on the counter. I mean, he had the runs,” Ann Romney explained, according to ABC News, laughing while describing the incident.
