Sake, a pug, center, is carried in a backpack by his owner Tate Hausman of Brooklyn during a protest aimed at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in New York, Tuesday Feb. 14, 2012. The demonstration took place outside of Madison Square Garden, where the Westminster dog show is taking place. The demonstration was organized by the Dogs Against Romney website.

A protest outside the Westminster dog show aimed at Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney drew about a dozen demonstrators today, plus a few pooches.   

The half-hour lunchtime demonstration in front of Madison Square Garden took issue with Romney's oft-told story of traveling with his Irish setter, Seamus, on a family vacation in 1983.

Romney has said he put the dog inside a crate and strapped it to the roof rack for a 12-hour drive from Boston to Canada.

Protest spokeswoman Kitty Hendrix said the Dogs Against Romney website that organized the demonstration has about 25,000 members.
