According to the New York Post, CNN correspondent Soledad O’Brien has a major thing against a big, lovable, good-natured 150-pound mastiff named Ugo.
So much of a “thing” against the dog that she appears to be leading a charge to evict not only the dog, but also the dogs family, Steve Lyons, an immigration lawyer who lives with his wife and their three kids in a loft three floors above O’Brien on West 26th Street.
According to the New York Post report:
Lyons said neighbors had welcomed him to the building after he purchased his $3 million, 4,000-square-foot, eighth-floor apartment in 2003.
But that changed in March 2007 when he got the Neapolitan Mastiff, bred from an award-winning bloodline, in Turin, Italy. By that summer, a newly elected board had begun complaining, despite a co-op agreement allowing pets and the fact that several residents own cats.
Reportedly, O’Brien, in a 20-page affidavit, complained about the dog’s “size, slobbering, shedding, drooling, gassiness and odors.”
Apparently none of the tenants have complained of O’Brien’s “size, slobbering, shedding, drooling, gassiness and odors.”, but what good would that do when O’Brien holds the lofty position of secretary of her co-op board?
Soledad O’Brien really ought to re-think her position in this foolishness.
If there’s one thing that Americans will not tolerate it is people picking on big, lovable, slobbering dogs.
Those that fail to realize this basic truth are destined to poor ratings along with the scorn of dog lovers everywhere.
And rightfully so…
