Obama Family to Adopt a Dog
While it didn’t seem like any animal would ever reach the same height of political fame as “Checkers,” the dog given to President Nixon’s daughters during his run for Vice President — and the title given to his infamous “Checkers” speech (click here to read more about the “Checkers” speech) — it seems that the soon to be “first dog” has indeed managed to usurp Checker’s place in political pet history.
The country was — and still is — abuzz, wondering what kind of puppy the Obama family will adopt. Would it be an expensive dog, one that would complement the expansive White House? Obama shocked the world by confirming that he and his family would adopt a dog from a shelter, even going so far as to say “a lot of the shelter dogs are mutts like me” (CNN.com)
We say good for him; we admire the example that he is setting for would-be dog adopters everywhere.
In fact, why not add another New Year’s resolution to your list: only adopt shelter animals from now on. If you would like to find out how you can adopt a shelter pet, please visit the Humane Society website to find out how you can adopt rescued pets in your area.
