The Buy: Muzzle-tov Presidential dog collars

 

If you're beginning to suspect that the U.S. presidential election is going to the dogs, you might have something.

 

Proof positive is the popularity of these durable polyester dog collars from muzzle-tov.com ($24.99). Available in two distinctive styles — the "Obama" and the "McCain," the collars feature heavy-duty clips and buckles and a butt-welded D-ring to help control your pooch's innate political prejudices.

Kenya, the American Staffordshire terrier pictured here, has shown a definite preference for the McCain camp, says her owner, a self-confessed Obama supporter and designer of the canine ballots. But the doggie pundit may have to put a muzzle on it; early returns show sales of the Obama model (1,299 at press time) way ahead of the McCain (a dismal 556).

 

Too late I suppose to design a collar for that bitch, Palin. Available at www.muzzle-tov.com.
