Like dogs with a bone, the right won’t drop their efforts to malign Minnesota Governor Tim Walz . On Monday, prominent conservatives circulated an absurd allegation that Walz was faking the identity of his family’s dog Scout. “This is Tim Walz tweeting about his dog Scout.
Only problem is that these are two completely different dogs,” Dustin Grage, a columnist at the right-wing website Town Hall, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Yes, this is Tim Walz tweeting about his dog Scout. Only problem is that these are two completely different dogs.

One was of Walz with Scout — a black labrador mix — celebrating the pup’s birthday in June of 2022. The second showed Walz petting a different dog on October 19, 2022. “Couldn’t think of a better way to spend a beautiful fall day than at the dog park.
I know Scout enjoyed it,” the governor captioned the image. The same day, Walz posted a video on Instagram featuring Scout and several other dogs at a dog park. In the video, the governor is sporting the same jacket, beanie, and dog toy seen in the photo, and the dog featured in the X post is also clearly visible.
In the clip, Walz jokingly asks Scout if he’s “jealous” of the attention he’s giving other dogs before giving him an affectionate rub. The photo of Walz at the dog park has seemingly been removed from his X account. Given that Scout has been in Walz’s family since 2019 , and recently got hi.
