Wag The Dog: Tim Walz's Pooch Does Interview for Vogue — And That's One More Interview Than Kamala Harris Has Done

The Harris-Walz campaign is finally speaking to the press! Well, Walz’s dog is, anyway…

In a recent feature in Vogue, Tim Walz’s dog, Scout, “told” the outlet that he is a Gemini that loves to play frisbee — “especially when Tim wants to throw it for me.”

(Walz’s dog has now officially done more interviews than Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris.)

From The Daily Caller:

When asked about his favorite meal, Scout told Vogue, “anything with peanut butter on it.” Walz’s dog has a proclivity for theft, admitting his worst habit is stealing cat food from his “sister,” Honey, and “stealing and eating Tim’s glasses.”

“If I can reach it, I can eat it,” Scout told Vogue when asked about his catchphrase.

The Walz family also took questions about their dog. “He’s a gentle giant, but he’s just a big softie,” they told Vogue. They said Scout “rescued us as much as we rescued him.”

Vogue’s interview of Walz’s dog is part of its “The Dogue Days of Summer” series that spotlights celebrities’ dogs. The outlet dedicated several opening paragraphs to telling the story of Scout — a rescue dog originally named Gene — who Walz brought home on Sept. 5, 2019 following a promise he made to his son two years prior.

Walz shared news of the interview on X, saying “Thanks @VogueMagazine for making our dog Scout a cover model. Let’s hope this fame doesn’t go to his head.”
