Pic of Palin’s son standing on dog draws reaction

A photo of one-time U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's young son standing on a dog to reach the kitchen sink is drawing sharp reaction. The image of 6-year-old Trig, presumably preparing to wash dishes, and the reclining and seemingly relaxed black Lab-type animal is posted on the former Alaska governor's Facebook page. The online response to the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee's New Year's Day post was fast and at times furious. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File)
