Nice picture, but not the long-awaited "Obama Dog."
Chances are you may see this picture--beautiful as it is--a lot between now and whenever the new First Family gets their much-debated new dog. However, in the interest of the truth, just know that this picture is NOT the Obama's new dog. It is a wonderful photo associated with the book called "A Rare Breed of Love" (http://www.ararebreedoflove.com) by respected puppy mill buster Jana Kohl and her rescue pup. (Well worth reading!)
But, alas--no, this is not the Obama's new dog. Indeed, he said something to Barbara Walters not too long ago about not wanting a 'girly' dog, which this little pup seems to be. (Not that there's anything wrong with that! to quote Jerry Seinfeld.)
We do admit being a bit more than disappointed that our new Vice President, Joe Biden, who otherwise has a pretty good record with humane legislation, ended up with a German Shepherd puppy from a suspected Pennsylvania puppy mill. C'mon, people! Politicians are infamous for digging up dirt about someone's cousin's-uncle's-girlfriend-who-stood-next-to-someone-who-knew-someone who burned an American Flag 25 years ago, and you can't even properly research whether your new puppy comes from a suspected puppy mill--or at least a breeder with numerous, known violations?
Shame on you, Joe. We hope you research the cause of this crappy economy better than the origins of your otherwise very cute dog.
