Dog bites candidate -

Had to happen one of these days, with the number of dogs in driveways that I am approaching. They tell candidates to carry dog treats in our pockets -- mine were in the back seat of my car. This bite took place in Machias; fortunately the dog had all his shots, and so have I.

It's not a bad bite, but it is a scare. Lesson learned; it won't happen again. I appeared suddenly (the dog's perspective), and the dog was worried about his owner. Understandable. We got the bite washed off, and I was on my way again. And yes, the dog owner is going to vote for me. Must be a Democrat dog.
