Dogs and politics fit.

Every year, Westminster hosts a Dog of the Year competition. After protests in Scotland, the event has been launched up north now too. There’s even a Reddit fan theory that Scooby-Doo was bred as a super intelligent test subject for a Soviet space project.  

Science tells us that dogs will like you more if you’re a good person. But if you want them to respect you, then take them to vote. Here’s a few tips on how to make your pooch political.

First, make sure you head down early — polling stations shut at 10 p.m. Otherwise you’ll hit a mastiff queue. 
Voting is a big deal. It’s im-paw-tant to dress for the occasion. 
You’re allowed to get excited about it. 
If you love elections, then lead from the front!
But we understand: politics can be ruff sometimes.
Don’t tick the wrong box. It could come back to bite you!
Not really a dog person? How have you even got this far? 
According to the law, you’re allowed to bring horses too — so long as you tether them outside before going in. 
Basically, bring whoever you’re feline. All that matters is that you get down to vote.
No, seriously. Stop reading this. Go vote, or hound your mates that are yet to join the pack. Otherwise you'll leave with your tail between your legs, and this pup will judge you forever.
