in Seoul, Harper gets a puppy

The front page of the Dong-A Daily, a newspaper here in Seoul, Korea, has caricatures of each G20 leader printed on its front page today. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, though he and his wife Laureen are big fans of cats (and often have several strays at 24 Sussex until they can be adopted), is drawn with a dog. Canadian officials here are puzzled at the symbolism. Really. Barack Obama is shown riding a donkey, a symbol of his Democratic Party. Russian President Dimitry Medvedev has a little teddy bear. The artist has also seen fit to put Italian PM Sylvio Berlusconi in a toga and German chancellor Angela Merkel in some sort of delightful Oktoberfest costumer. Pix below.
