If you watched the GOP debate on Tuesday, you probably noticed that all of the 2016 candidates simply ignored the polite little debate bell that was supposed to warn candidates that their time was up.
The Fox Business team was probably trying to provide a stark contrast to the CNBC moderators from the previous debate, but still — you’re dealing with barracuda politicians here. Cutesy little bells aren’t going to deter them from running their holes until they’re forced to stop.
But the bells had a different effect on an unexpected audience: the dogs of everyone watching it at home! See the tweets below.
Is anyone else's dog barking every time the #FBNDebate time bell rings?! 'No Bax! That's not a food delivery guy!' pic.twitter.com/CiPZ72UfmW

My dog growls each time the bell sounds at #GOPDebate – must be like a dog whistle because candidates don't seem to hear it

I just had to put my dog out because these people can't keep to their time. The bell was giving her apoplexy. #GOPDebate
