PHOTOS Are all Portuguese water dogs Democrats, or is there the odd Republican stray?

This undated handout photo provided by Sen. Edward Kennedy's office, shows Sen. Kennedy holding his 13-week old Portuguese water dog named Cappy. Speaking of a dog for President-elect Barack Obama and his family, Sen. Kennedy said: "I am proud to endorse the Portuguese water dog as the next First Dog of the United States. They have a can do and hopeful spirit. They are smart. They are resilient. They are determined. They are optimistic. And they are tireless. Sounds like a perfect fit for the Obama Family and the Obama Administration."
