Funny thing I heard on NPR today...
Ted Kennedy has a dog named "Splash".
Not only that, but it is a Water Dog of all breeds. The Portuguese Water Dog's origin is thus:
The origin of the Portuguese Water Dog goes back many centuries, where stories of rescued fisherman evolved. Because of their unusual capabilities in the water, the Portuguese Water Dogs were used as couriers between fisherman's boats and became part of the crew, very often taking their share of the profit.
Maybe Ted wishes he had one in '69 on Chappaquiddick.
Hmmmmm.
Post Script:
To his defense, I must say that I did a bit of research on this and found that "Splash" was the name given him by the breeder, but regardless... I must say that it is still an ironic and unfortunate coincidence...
