relative article length remark

Why on Earth is this on Wikipedia? The 'reference' given only gives a passing mention to the dog, and doesn't establish notability at all. Bl a st 09.04.07 0352 (UTC)

It's a sad thing to see the article on this dog is much longer than the article on the president of Suriname, Ronald Venetiaan. Could we at least merge the articles on Bush his pets into one? Baldrick90 (talk) 14:22, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First Dog?

First Dog should redirect to List of United States Presidential pets, not this current First dog, or first pet. But moving everything is a big project. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 19:29, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and done. It wasn't difficult. Шизомби (talk) 00:20, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Canine Napoleon complex?

"Barney has also been criticized by Russian President Vladimir Putin who feels a world leader should own large macho dogs not smaller breeds such as the Scottish Terrier.[2]

"On November 6, 2008, Barney bit Reuters news reporter Jon Decker.[3]"

No causality?

Barney attacked a reporter

should that be added to this "article" to make it a bit less propagandaish? Rcollins03 (talk) 10:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

Is it correct to write nationality in an article about an animal? I think animal don't have a nationality! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.137.96 (talk) 21:34, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lazy journalese.

Okay, I concede. the dog "battled" with lymphoma after all. Ridiculous lazy journalese.
