Squirrels can't be trusted

I am very concerned about the judgement of some humans in this land.

Every four years, powerful humans hold a big competition to see who will get to be the big pack leader.  This time, a giant squirrel who calls himself “Trump” appears to have managed to get into the race, very poorly disguised as a human.  You just have to look at the top of his tail over his head to see that he is obviously hiding the rest of it inside his body covers.  I am amazed how many humans have been completely fooled by this disguise.

All dogs know that squirrels can’t be trusted and have to be chased away at every opportunity but no-one has stepped up to chase this one away yet.  I think the problem is that he’s a really big squirrel so it needs a really big dog.  When we go for our evening sniffs around town, we often meet a Newfoundland.  He’s a really big dog.  Tobermory feels a little intimidated by him, but he and I get along just fine.  Next time I run into him, I think I’ll ask if he can help with this troublesome squirrel problem.
