Presidents Dog to be is…
By admin | November 6, 2008
In his last election victory speech Tuesday night, President-elect Barack Obama promised his two daughters that they’d be moving into the White House with a new puppy. Now the dog-world is engaged in widespread speculation over the breed of the presidential pooch-to-be.
Or pooches-to-be. The American Kennel Club hopes that the pet will turn out to be a pair of 6-week-old toy poodles, rescued by Flora’s Pet Project/Poodle Rescue in Connecticut. First lady-to-be Michelle Obama said in an interview last month that the family was interested in adopting a rescue dog after the election.
The puppies were transported to the AKC’s New York offices, where they were to be photographed professionally Thursday in the hopes of catching the Obama family’s attention.
“The dogs were in an unfortunate situation and were not being cared for properly,” said Marianne Smith, a spokeswoman for the rescue agency. Smith said the puppies were “voluntarily surrendered,” but declined to give further details.
I am voting for a rescued greyhound!
