Voted, but I have to ask who is going to vote for one of the dogs off just a photo of the human that the dog owns?

I've posted before but will repeat I think this is because they are foster dogs (who have to maintain a low profile otherwise their chances of adoption could be harmed by political connection) and we are all meant to go "aaaaaah isn't that lovely - fostering a dog".

Having worked for Dog’s Trust, and DD still does, I’m going to point out that some dogs will have found their way in to Dog’s Trust rescue after having been seized. I imagine that having a picture of the dog with their high profile owner might not be a great idea. That said I’m not sure why they would be putting themselves forward in the first place, but who knows.

Voted 🐾

I voted for the Saluki anyway! I checked up on her owner and she's followed by a lot of GC people on Twitter.

Some sort of propawtional representation.

I voted. You may be able to vote more than once.

Is this a FPTP election or are they running a Single Transfurable Vote?

Done! Although I did feel torn over the saluki.

Me too! I managed to fight through it though....

Snap. I am still looking at lovely Lola.

Jeremy Hunt’s poor dog looks depressed with his lot in life (unsurprisingly).

littlbrowndog · 23/08/2023 09:38

So many lovely dogs - and some strange photos of MPs without their dogs 😁

That is not going to bring the votes in!

TidyDancer · 23/08/2023 09:27

Done! It would be lovely if Rosie won!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 23/08/2023 09:24

I note that the dogs have a sex and not a gender.

donquixotedelamancha · 23/08/2023 09:22

Done.

misscockerspaniel · 23/08/2023 07:50

Voted but had to zoom through to avoid looking at the other dogs.

NeedToKnow101 · 23/08/2023 06:45

✅

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 23/08/2023 06:24

Voted!

Actually I'd have voted for her anyway as she's got a Cavvie.

JaneorEleven · 23/08/2023 06:18

Done. In fact, it let me vote twice. I am partial to a Cairn terrier, but I kept my focus on the task in hand.

They all seem to be a "Dogs Trust Companion" - does that mean they are being fostered and should not be outed in public? ie being associated with an MP may harm their changes of being adopted!
