Hillary Clinton would like a barking dog to fact-check the Republican presidential candidates, so much so that [she imitated the animal during a rally in Reno, Nevada](http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hillary-clinton-barks-dog-condemning-republicans/story?id=36959846) on Monday.

It started when Clinton told the crowd about a favorite political radio ad from her days in Arkansas.

“The announcer said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if somebody running for office said something, we could have an immediate reaction as to whether it was true or not? Well we’ve trained this dog and the dog, if it’s not true, he’s going to bark,'” the former Secretary of State said.

“I’m trying to figure out how we can do that with the Republicans, you know? We need to get that dog and follow them around and every time they say things, like, ‘Oh, the great recession was caused by too much regulation—'” she said, before imitating a dog’s bark. “I think we could cut right through a lot of their claims.”

Clinton has turned her attention to campaigning in Nevada ahead of Saturday’s Democratic caucuses in the state, where her opponent [Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has been closing in on her lead](http://time.com/4215117/new-hampshire-primary-results-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-fight/) in the polls.


## Transcript

[00:00] One of my favorite, favorite political ads of all time was
[00:01] a radio ad, rural Arkansas, where the
[00:06] announcer said " Wouldn't it be great if
[00:12] somebody running for office said something, we could
[00:16] have an immediate reaction as to whether it was true
[00:17] or not? Well we've trained this dog
[00:22] And a dog. If it's not true, he's gonna bark, and then
[00:23] the dog was barking on the radio. And so people were
[00:24] barking at each other for days after that. I'm trying to
[00:30] figure out how we
[00:35] could do that with
[00:40] the Republicans. We need to get to get that dog and
[00:41] follow them around, and every time they say these
[00:44] things Like the great recession was made by too much
[00:48] regulation. [ SOUND ] [ APPLAUSE ] No? I think we can
[00:51] cut right through a lot of you know their claims.
