Unlike most white collar cases that have individuals who have no prior convictions, reports are that Barney the white house canine is a repeat offender. See Rodrique Ngowi,TBO (AP), Reporter wasn’t White House dog’s 1st bite victim. And it seems that the victims have a commonality (all press people). 

It was questioned here whether Barney would appear on the President’s outgoing pardon list. Most pardon grants are first offenders, and often their convictions are very old.  Who will receive President Bush’s outgoing pardons remains to be seen.  Mind you, I don’t have a dog in this fight.
