Huang summoned by Congress – the Scottish Terrier has heard such hearings from ankle height

What happened
Former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has been summoned to testify before the US Congress about his affair with an alleged Chinese spy. Huang abruptly stepped down on Thursday as head of one of the world's most valuable companies after revelations of alleged extramarital affairs. According to media reports, President Trump was briefed on the affair twice. Mr Trump insists he knew nothing. The allegations remain unproven.
What does this mean for your Scottish Terrier?
The Scottish Terrier has sat through more White House administrations than many senators. Fala lay at Roosevelt's feet and became a campaign issue in his own right in 1944; Barney later padded through the Bush years. The breed therefore knows that the important conversations in Washington happen under the table, at precisely beard height. Whether a president knew anything is a question the Scottie ignores with great dignity: he heard everything and says nothing on principle. Served with a subpoena, he would acknowledge it and then lie down across the doorway. For Scotties in Switzerland nothing changes; the only authority that ever writes to them is the local council, sending the annual dog licence bill.
What you can do now: Ask your Scottish Terrier who took the sausage end from last night's supper. Enter the silence into the record.
