PRESS RELEASE CONTACT: Harriman Meets Canine Constituents on Campaign Trail PROVIDENCE Candidate for Providence 5th Ward City Council seat, Mark Harriman made public, the details surrounding a recent true-life attack by a full grown German Shepherd dog in the Elmhurst section of the 5th Ward. The owner, whose name will not be released, profusely apologized for the dog's unprovoked attack on the candidate's leg and offered to replace Harriman's torn pants. "There was nothing the owner could do," Harriman stated. "The dog just charged through the door as we were speaking. Must have been a Democratic dog." Harriman, who remained undaunted and finished his campaign pitch to the dog's owner even during the attack, received subsequent medical treatment. "The doctor said I'll be fine. Luckily the dog didn't break a tooth. You know how hard we Republicans can be." "I have recently finished my treatment and the pants have been replaced. Now I just have to get over my sudden fondness for fire hydrants," Harriman said, tongue planted firmly in cheek. |
