Romney received a shoutout in an Oregon case involving four people who accidentally tied a pit bull to their Jeep, then forgot they'd done so before driving off. The Multnomah County district attorney's office tried two of the people for second degree animal abuse.

According to a report in the Oregonian, a defense attorney pointed out that even aspirants to the nation's highest office have subjected the family pet to questionable car treatment.

"Our presidential candidate tied up a dog and drove off with him for quite a while," a defense attorney said.

Multnomah County Circuit Judge Kenneth Walker reportedly responded, "I would have probably found him guilty for that."

SNAP!
