It turns out cute puppies can bridge the political divide.
Driving the smiles: The Animal Humane Society brought a bunch of pint-sized — and adoptable! — canines to the State Capitol yesterday.
DFL and GOP lawmakers passed puppies back and forth for snuggles and snapped pics for one another.
What they're saying: "This is like us on the floor," DFL Rep. Emma Greenman (Minneapolis) quipped as two rambunctious pups wrestled playfully.
Yes, but: Unlike the furry visitors, no lawmakers have peed on the (chamber) floor, she joked.
