Puppy Vows to Run as an Independent this Fall

After suffering a crushing defeat in the Democratic primary that pundits say was “completely expected” (she didn’t appear on any ballots), Bella the dog is now saying she’ll run as an independent candidate for president in the fall.

A spokesperson told The Fluffington Post that even though Bella won zero delegates in the primary, she intends to “continue bringing her message of hope, equality, and belly rubs for everyone to the world.”

Political analysts think there might be something else to her decision to stay in the race despite overwhelming odds.

“There’s no doubt she’s a very good dog,” said MSNBC political commentator Stacie Copley. “But I think the real reason Bella is staying in the race is that she loves campaigning. I mean, she absolutely loves it. All the car rides, especially. She’s in heaven when she’s on the trail.”
