Guv's pup bites hand that pets him

Whoops. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick didn't quite plan his town hall meeting in Boston to go that way. His new puppy nipped a woman who tried to pet the 9-week-old black Lab.

Tobey has been popular since the governor got him recently and must have been tiring from all the attention. News reports say the woman was bitten when she bent down to pet the puppy but continued to play with him. She had a red mark and later went to the hospital to make sure the bite wasn't serious.

  1. Be careful when you pet an animal that you don't know. . . I can't believe people who think they are so good with dogs that they can pet them without getting nipped.
