Gloves are off, Cruz really pissed me off now...left his dog behind when he left town [View all]

We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals. ...


Ted Cruz left a freezing Texas to head to Cancun, Mexico, reportedly leaving behind his dog, Snowflake. Reporter Michael Hardy discovered the small white dog peering from behind the glass front door when he went to Cruz's River Oaks home in Houston, Texas.
But the allegation that he left his dog behind has angered people even further, like one Twitter user who said: ''Never thought I could dislike Ted Cruz more than I already did...until he left his dog #Snowflake home to freeze to death," in a tweet that has been liked 1,600 times.

In response to the news story, someone created a Twitter account with the handle @TedCruzPoodle. Their bio reads: "Hi! I'm Ted Cruz's poodle, Snowflake, living my best life while Texas freezes over and my a-hole dad is in Cancun. #Justice4Snowflake #TedFled"

Another account with the handle @TheCruzDog emerged and said: "Ted invited himself on the Cancun trip. Everyone was all, 'Uh, sure Ted, whatevs.'" The bio of @TheCruzDog's Twitter page reads: "My captor's code name is: Rafael," referring to Cruz's first name.
