German Shepherd Would Make a Great President

German Shepherd for President

Buddy Boy Mertens
(German Shepherd)

Buddy Boy Mertens, the presumptive Canine Party presidential nominee, has teamed up with Ringo Timm, (Border Collie) as his vice presidential running mate. Buddy and Ringo were the head of the pack at the Canine National Convention. All the dogs that were present howled their approval.

Buddy Boy Mertens was born on February 2, 2002, believed to be in Green Bay, Wisconsin. As a puppy, Buddy went from two broken homes. In the second home, he had a difficult time getting along with his foster brothers, a Pitbull and a Sheltie. Since the other two dogs lived at the residence prior to Buddy, the owner decided to place him with the Humane Society. At this time Buddy Boy was 18 months old.

He was in prison. Not knowing if tomorrow would be his last day. He had watched puppies come and go. The older dogs were hard to place. In human years, Buddy was only 11 years old.

Because of the torture he had endured from his foster brothers, (it is unknown about his previous owners), Buddy did not like other canines. As soon as another dog would get close, Buddy went into attack mode. He was kept in solitaire from the others.

On a warm August day, a family came into the Human Society to look. The mother said that she was not ready for another pet. Being the primary caregiver to their Ferret of nine years, and the last three years she was slowly dying. But the father and daughter had other plans. The two had come a few times unbeknown to the mother. Each time they had requested Buddy. This time all three took him for a walk around the grounds.

Buddy was not allowed to go home with his new family for a couple more weeks. According to the Humane Society staff, he was not socially ready.

Life in Buddy's new home was difficult. Buddy was friendly enough with his new family. However, when they returned home from work and school, the house was a mess. Buddy manage to open cans of soda with his teeth and the sticky substance had been poured all over the kitchen floor. He had managed to jump up to the sink, where some knifes with plastic and wooden handles were placed. These knifes were on the floor with the wood and plastic almost completely chewed off. Discipline problems continue for about three months.

Any other family would have taken him back to prison. Maybe it was the fact that this family was and still is considered 'true pet lovers'. And they knew why Buddy acted out. Before the ferret, they had two dogs that had been trained and in obedience competitions.

The day came when Buddy realized that he was no longer in foster care. He had a home. He changed his delinquent ways.

Fast forward to 2008, Buddy Boy Mertens is a loyal, obedience member of society, with no criminal record. He is a true leader, who can lead on command. He became involved with politics this year when he had seen the internal bickering of the Democratic Party and the vision of continued Bushism of the Republican Party. Not to insult any particular party. Buddy knew the American people deserved something better.

Unlike most politicians Buddy lives up to his slogan, "Presidential candidates who barks the truth and sheds no lies!" Together with his running mate, Ringo Timm they will herd this country back into something all the American people can be proud of.

The website is about the Presidential Canidates for the Canine National Party. It is still in the construction stage. It needs your help to contribute as Buddy and Ringo's political writers.

Buddy's Bio that is seen at the top of this lens is included in the website. I still need to work on Ringo's after I talk to his family.

Although the President doesn't choose his cabinet members until after the election, we can do something different and chose them before hand.

IF THE NEXT PRESIDENT WERE A DOG

More reasons to vote for me

Since there are a few dogs out there running for President of the United States, I thought I would let everyone out there know how it would be different if the next President were a dog.

10.There would be a doggy door in the oval office

9. At press conferences, instead of "Mr. President," reporters would shout, "Here fella!"

8. Goodbye Whitewater Scandal, hello Toilet Bowl Water Scandal.

7.The Washington Monument would be replaced with a hundred-story fire hydrant.

6. The United States might have a more coherent foreign policy.

5. Public Enemy #1 would be that neutering bastard Bob Barker.

4. The secret service and the CIA (Canine Intelligence Agency) would be dispatched to catch that little chuck wagon.

3. The Country would really be run by the dog's smarter poodle wife.

2. Here's your new national anthem: (videotape of dog barking the x-mas jingle).

1. One word: Snausage Gate.

That's not all -

"Walkies!" would be the name of his national physical fitness initiative.

If the next president were a dog, any man convicted of animal abuse would get his nuts whacked off.

National Squirrel Culling Day if a doggie were President!

I would take a cat (instead of a dog for the President) "Here Kitty Kitty!"

I would send an army of cats to Iraq so they can chase out the rats!

All dogs will be given free health care.

If our next President was a dog, tongues would wag!

If the next President were a dog, he would be a loyal best friend to the people of our country and that sure would be a good change.

(David Letterman on The Late Show on his July 8, 1994 broadcast and a few extra additions)

Concession Speech

Wag me on for 2012

I would like to thank my friends and supporters. Today we woke up with a new President elect. My head is still held high, though my tail is between my legs. I congratulate you Senior Obama. May you have the strength to lead and restore America's reputation with the American people and other countries.

Like my opponents we stood for change that would make a real difference in the life of our nation and the lives of our families, and we defined that choice to America.

Last night, history would have been made with any of the three major parties:

If the Republicans would have won, we would have had the oldest Geriatric-American President and the first female Hockey-Mom-American Vice President.

If I, Buddy Boy Mertens won as the next President, this country would have had the first German Shepherd-American President. I would have kept my promise of "Barking the truth and shedding no lies!" All owners would be lead on to right path of prosperity. No bones would have gone overturned. I would have put the end to animal cruelty. But I am not whimpering or whining. My congratulations go out to Senator Barack Obama for a campaign well fought.

History was made last night with the first African-Americans President to be elected.

I am not giving up. Vote for me in 2012.
