Except Snowflake the poodle was under the care of the Senator's security, who were on site to guard his house from leftist domestic terrorists.
But then, the intrepid journalist in search of the scoop of the century discovers....
I heard barking and noticed a small, white dog looking out the bottom right pane of glass in the senator’s front door. Had Cruz left his dog behind?
As I approached to knock, a man stepped out of the Suburban parked in Cruz’s driveway. “Is this Senator Cruz’s house?” I asked. He said it was, that Cruz wasn’t home, and identified himself as a security guard. When asked who was taking care of the dog, the guard volunteered that he was. Reassured of the dog’s well-being, I returned to my car. Before leaving, though, I took a photo of the house from my car window, making sure not to include the house address.
A 2014 Facebook post by Cruz, apparently showing a picture of the dog, identifies it as a rescue puppy named, aptly enough, Snowflake (gender unknown). Some on Twitter have questioned whether the dog is in fact a poodle, suggesting alternative breeds such as a Bichon Frise. I couldn’t get close enough to tell, and I’m no canine expert, but “Ted Cruz’s poodle” just sounds funny.
As soon as I posted the photo on Twitter, noting that Cruz “appears to have left behind the family poodle,” all hell broke loose. “Tell me they really didn’t leave that dog home alone,” one person replied. “That pooch deserves better,” grumbled another. People tagged the ASPCA and PETA. Then there were what I have come to call the Poodle Truthers. “Where’s the snow and ice?” “I don’t think this is really @tedcruz house, where’s the snow?” I tried to explain that after two sunny, 40-degree days, the snow and ice had melted, but some continued to insist the photo was fake.

This non-story was more concerning to leftists than the fate of the victims of Cuomo and Newsom's idiotic policies.
Fact Check the Left: Cuomo Asserts All COVID Death Counts Were Accurate and Publicly Available
Verdict?
Cuomo lied and thousands died.
But Ted Cruz flew to Cancun.
Newsom and Cuomo's policies were deadly to thousands, but Ted Cruz's dog is much more interesting to to "Journalists", apparently.
I dont think I have ever seen anyone with a glass only front door...I saw that pic two days ago and concluded that the story was BS...There was at least one human in the house at the time.

Liberals: Now stalking the canine companions of conservatives
Now NY has about the same death rate as Texas, though a much lower death rate over the last few months. Meanwhile, California has done much better than Texas.
