Being a dog lover, I found the Bangor Daily News article, printed in the Sun Journal Nov. 28, about Secretary of State John Kerry flying to Maine to pick up his new yellow Labrador puppy, quite interesting.

Of particular interest were the parts of the article concerning the U.S. Secret Service and also the convoy of five SUVs.

That brings to my mind a question: How much did it cost taxpayers for Kerry to pick up his puppy?
