VP's Pooch Gets Presidential Escort To Vet
WASHINGTON -- A motorcade caused its expected commotion in northwest D.C. Wednesday afternoon, speeding down a street and stopping traffic, but it wasn't for a politician or a dignitary. It was for the vice president's dog.
At about 4 p.m., the motorcade -- complete with Secret Service, motorcycles and two limousines -- was escorting Dick Cheney and one of his two dogs -- the 10-year-old yellow Lab, Dave -- to Friendship Hospital for Animals, News4's Jackie Bensen reported.
Cheney and his dog were escorted into the hospital through a garage entrance, and Secret Service agents filled the waiting area.
People were allowed to come and go at the hospital, and the street was not closed.
The vice president's office confirmed it was a routine trip to the vet for Dave. From D.C. NBC affiliate.
