A politically-minded dog

An incomplete list of things my dog is terrified of--some legit, some not so much:

• large trucks 
• mini-vans
• construction vehicles
• lawn mowers
• old women pushing granny carts (but strollers are okay)
• full bags of garbage sitting by the front door
• Dufferin Street (yes, the entire street)
• curb-side garbage and recycling bins, occasionally including those that are permanently installed
• any box on the street full of random stuff with a sign reading "free stuff"
• children on scooters (but bicycles are okay)
• TTC buses passing by (but not subways or streetcars--and he's totally fine to ride all of the above)
• pylons

Added to the list today:

• election lawn signs (but strangely, only those for NDP candidates)
