Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick's ridiculously cute new puppy got a bit too frisky at a town meeting and nipped a woman on the hand.
The incident occurred Thursday after the governor brought his 9-week-old black Lab, Tobey, with him to a meeting in Boston.
The puppy has been an attraction since Patrick received him last week. He has been bringing him to work for house-training purposes. And probably just to show him off.
Children touring the Statehouse have asked to see Tobey, and youngsters played with the dog at the town hall meeting. Could Tobey be trying to be the next Bo Obama? Maybe political pups are the next big thing?
Aides say the woman was bitten when she bent down to pet the puppy but continued to play with him nonetheless. (He's THAT cute!) She was left with a red mark on her hand, which was treated with a bandage. She went to the hospital as a precaution.
