Old saying of "Don't trust anyone who doesn't love dogs" is good enough for me. Or a good judge of a person is how they treat their support staff. Helps to separate people with class from the white trash.
Eric Bonner, a military K9 handler, posted the following on his Facebook page. His comments have gone viral. His military working dog, "Suli," sniffs for bombs .
"I'm not voting for Clinton. It has nothing to do with her views. It really doesn't even matter about all the laws she broke. It's because she actually talked to me once! Almost a sentence.
Being a K9 handler in the military, I got to do a few details involving distinguished visitors... mostly Generals, DOD officials and Secretaries of Defense. I was lucky enough to pull two awesome details... Presidents George W. Bush and Obama.
GWB looked at me and smiled, then he said, "Man, who would piss you off?" Then he high-fived me and continued on. I was climbing down from a catwalk I had stood on for 4 hours with nothing but dust and a radio to keep me company. The radio died early on. It was pretty sweet.
Barack Obama, as he was walking out to his plane in Turkey, said to me, "What the hell kind of dog is that?" in reference to Suli.
One of my last details was for Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State. She was in Turkey for whatever reason. I helped with bomb sweeps of her DV Quarters and staff vehicles. Her only words to me were, "Get that f---ing dog away from me!" Then she turned to her security detail and berated them up and down about why that dog was in her quarters. For the next 20 minutes while I sat there waiting to be released, she laid into them, slamming the door in their faces when she was done. The security detail lead guy walked over to apologize and released me. I apologized to him for getting him in trouble. His reply was, "Happens every day, brother!"
