Mystery solved: Gov. Scott’s missing dog no longer his dog
By Mike Krumboltz

During his successful 2010 campaign for Florida governor, Republican Rick Scott adopted a rescue Labrador retriever and named the pooch Reagan. Scott won the election, but the dog isn't living it up in the governor's mansion.

So where the heck is Reagan? Has the dog entered the witness protection program?

The Tampa Bay Times vowed to find out—and eventually did.

Reporters who noticed that Reagan hadn't been seen since early 2011 asked members of the governor's staff for answers, but were rebuffed. The paper then conducted a Woodward and Bernstein-style investigation into the missing dog, and is definitely worth a read, the resulting article especially for the passive-aggressive back and forth between the governor's director of communications and the reporters.

What a jerk for returning the dog. It's amazing what an experienced dog trainer can accomplish, but I guess ole Scotty couldn't spare $20 bucks.
