The phrase "you can't take it with you" usually applies to the understanding that a person's accumulated wealth and worldly possessions mean nothing once that person is dead. However, for outgoing New York governor and credibly accused sex pest Andrew Cuomo, "you can't take it with you" reportedly has a much more earthly, immediate meaning, with the "it" being his dog Captain, and the "with you" being his ignominious exit from the governor's mansion.
According to the Albany Times Union, which has doggedly (heh) followed Cuomo's political implosion, the soon-to-be-ex-governor reportedly left his shepherd-Siberian husky-malamute pup Captain at his former gubernatorial residence, despite having moved out himself last week. He has also reportedly asked various staffers if they would house the dog — an offer one intrepid sitter agreed to, until Captain's bad behavior forced the employee to rescind the offer ("the dog walks him, he don't walk the dog" a police source who spoke with the Albany Times Union explained).
