NY Gov. Cuomo ripped for report he abandoned dog Captain at executive mansion

Resigning New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is getting raked over the social media coals for a report that he tried to give his dog Captain away during his final days in office.

Cuomo asked mansion staffers to take Captain, and one volunteered, but the dog has a history of biting people and he was returned to the mansion just a few days later, the sources told the Times Union. Cuomo’s top adviser and spokesman Richard Azzopardi was irate at the Times Union report, telling the paper that the arrangement was only "temporary" because the governor is taking a vacation after he officially resigns at 11:59 p.m. Monday.
