Elizabeth Warren’s “key,” “top,” and “best” campaign surrogate had apparently been a “good boy” long enough.

Shortly after the Massachusetts senator spoke Thursday about her departure from the 2020 Democratic presidential race outside her Cambridge home, her press secretary tweeted out a short video of her golden retriever, Bailey, swiping a burrito, as her husband, Bruce Mann, desperately tries to pry it from his jaws.

“Bailey stole it,” a voice can be heard saying.

It’s unclear when the video was taken, but Bailey stayed by his candidate’s side until the very end — appearing with Warren and Mann Thursday as the campaign came to a close.
