| Description | Police in Littleton, Colo., on Monday pulled over a motorist who was protesting the way Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney transported his dog on a family vacation three decades ago.
The motorist, a fan of the fledgling "Dogs Against Romney" protest movement, had a dog kennel strapped to the roof of his car -- just like Romney did during a 12-hour drive in 1983.
A photo of police stopping the car went viral on Tuesday. A spokeswoman for the city of Littleton confirmed the traffic stop happened because of canine concerns.
"Our 911 center received a call from a motorist who saw the car in the photo drive past, and she said the door to the animal carrier was open and a large white dog was in it," Littleton city spokeswoman Kelli Narde said in an interview. A police dispatcher radioed nearby officers, who spotted the car and pulled it over. Fortunately, no dog was harmed: "There was in fact a stuffed animal in the cage," Narde said. |
