From Canada:
"The Liberals allege Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay referred to ex-girlfriend and Liberal MP Belinda Stronach as a dog during an exchange Thursday in the House of Commons - a charge he later denied.
During the debate about the Tories' clean air plan, MP Mark Holland said a fellow Liberal jokingly asked MacKay about the impact of pollution on humans and animals: "What about your dog?"
Holland alleges MacKay motioned in response toward Stronach's vacant seat and replied: "You already have her."
Holland lodged a complaint with the Commons Speaker and has demanded MacKay apologize.

After suffering both a personal and a political betrayal by the woman, he had some reason to speak ill of her -- though feminists may not think so. Extended commentary here
There have also been reports of a romantic link between Ms Stronach and the slippery Bill Clinton. If true that would not say much for her character, in my view -- certainly enough to evoke a canine comparison.
