Boston Globe: Romney dogged by animal cruelty charge — The white Chevy station wagon with the wood paneling was overstuffed with suitcases, supplies, and sons when Mitt Romney climbed behind the wheel to begin the annual 12-hour family trek from Boston 
to Ontario … Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family’s hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon’s roof rack. He’d built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog….
…..As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. “Dad!” he yelled. “Gross!” A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who’d been riding on the roof in the wind for hours. As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.

Mitt Romney’s cruelty to his own dog…has angered animal rights activists.
During the 12-hour trip, Seamus lost control of his bowels, to which Romney’s response was to stop at a gas station, hose down the poor dog, and return to the highway with the pooch frightened, winded, and now dripping wet.

Perhaps this explains the man’s pattern of insensitivity and callousness towards the poor:

At a town hall in Bedford, New Hampshire, Mitt Romney encountered an uninsured voter who pressed him on his opposition to universal healthcare.
The uninsured voter, a woman who seemed desperate for some words of hope regarding her lack of healthcare insurance. Instead of any hint of compassion – or even an actual response to her need for healthcare – Romney brushed the woman off with a grin and what seemed to be a jab at Obamacare before he cast his gaze elsewhere.
“When you signed into law Romneycare, I was excited,” the woman said. “You seemed proud to do that. And then when the country copied you, it just seemed like there was hope for people like me.”
“How have you done since then?” Romney asked flippantly, talking over her.
“I don’t have health care, sir, and I’m scared,” she said.
“That tells you something doesn’t it?” Romney said. “Tells you something.”
