Sen. Kennedy has a Portuguese WATER DOG?!?

Sen. Ted Kennedy ‘Dogged’ By Children’s Book

Of all the different breeds of dogs in the world, why on EARTH would Senator Kennedy pick a Portuguese Water Dog?!?

From http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/portuguesewaterdog.htm:

Developed from working dogs brought by invaders and settlers to the Iberian Peninsula, the Portuguese Water Dog has aided Portuguese fisherman for many centuries. He herded and caught fish, carried messages between ships, retrieved anything that fell overboard, and guarded the catch and boats when in port.

I wonder what Mary Jo Kopechne thinks of that irony.
