President Donald Trump isn鈥檛 hiding the fact that he isn鈥檛 a dog person.
While he appeared impressed when describing the drug-detecting abilities of German shepherds that work for the U.S. Secret Service, he made it clear that he can get by in his daily life without the slobbery canine companionship welcomed by many of his predecessors.
At a campaign rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday night, Trump said he would 鈥渇eel a little phoney鈥� walking a dog on the White House lawn. Plus, he says he just doesn鈥檛 have time for a dog.
Trump doesn鈥檛 have any pets.
The American Veterinary Medical Association says nearly 57 per cent of U.S. households owned a pet at the end of 2016. Nearly 40 per cent of households owned one or more dogs.
