Politicians love endorsements, and I’d guess that supervisorial candidate Larry Carr is no exception. But I can’t imagine he’s feeling all that excited about having locked up the dog vote.

In fact, the news that he has came not from his campaign (which doesn’t even mention this on a rather long list of supporters), but rather from the Sacramento Dog Owners Group, which endorsed Carr because he “used to have a dog” and because he showed some support for SacDOG’s ongoing push for more off-leash recreation areas.

Still, with County dog owners likely outnumbering Bee subscribers — Carr picked up The Bee’s nod, too — maybe it’s not that bad an endorsement after all.
