    The first dog in Minnesota?! What did they do before that? Everyone out walking their porcupines / large lizards / capybara in the park? What? How did they not import dogs from the next state?!

      Moose, elk, and hockey players. Also a few stray Wisconsinites.

      You joke, but after the things they’ve come up with so far to attack Harris and Walz with, I wouldn’t even be a little surprised if some Newsmax flunkie said that. Or just criticized Walz for getting a rescue rather than buying an inbred purebred dog from a puppy mill.

      I’ve never, ever heard of a breakaway dog collar. Cats are the ones jumping off stuff, squeezing through small spaces, climbing and having a much higher risk of strangulation via a caught collar. Dogs don’t typically do that, so their risk is very, very low.
