Nope, no cats here! Nope, don't see any at all! Hmm, where could they be? Not in Ireland! (Photo: Getty Images)
We’re still making stump speeches, of sorts, to get out the vote for dogs. (See previous entry, Vote for Dogs, Not for Cats!, for more on the debate and how you can cast your vote for the right animal.) While eating my loathesome kibble this morning, I read something in USA Today that I thought would help make our case for dogs even more solid. It made my “dog food” taste almost edible, so I knew it I had to share it (the story, not the kibble, alas).
It turns out the Irish have one of the highest ratios of dogs to cats in the world. (It may be the highest, but I’m not sure anyone has polled residents of places like Chad or Kazakhstan, so I can’t definitively say.) In Ireland, dogs rule bigtime: Some 36 percent of Irish households keep dogs, while a mere 10 percent house cats. That’s just embarrassing for cats. We staffers at Dog Daily News are not laughing with you, cats, we are laughing at you! Ever so gently and politely, of course.
Since Ireland has produced some of the best minds, finest poets, and most talented writers in the world, it’s a place we trust for its taste and sensibilities. Ergo you should follow Ireland’s lead and vote for dogs. (I’m so glad I took that rhetoric class last year. What an iron-clad argument on behalf of my species.)

Frank,
Count on my vote for dogs. DOGS RULE!
Where my humans and I lived before, the next-door neighbor had two cats, and they got to roam freely. Most maddening was when the door was closed and one of those cats would taunt me through the window. It would drive me crazy.
Every now and then, my humans would let me out, and darned if that cat wouldn’t scoot away in a hurry, with me close behind until he got under the deck. My buddy Otis the Pug would go under there, but I wouldn’t. It was kind of creepy, to tell you the truth.
Again, DOGS RULE!

Frank,
BTW: Dogs are ahead 67% to 33% at the moment. Thanks for leading the campaign in the Bay Area!.
