The Struggling Blogger

Much ado about a dog, Obama’s dog. After the US election, and after the smoke has cleared out, the hottest topic now is the search for the Obama’s dog. Because it was said that the then candidate Barack Obama promised his two daughters, Malia, 10 and Sasha, 7 that he will buy them a dog once they moved in to the White House.

An 8-year old Filipina received a letter response from the newly president-elect Obama, because she sent him a letter suggesting what type of dogs to buy.

This search has indeed stirred so much interest that it has created more buzz on the Obama’s website than any other topic.

One of the main concern on the search is that, Malia has allergies. That is why the family is looking for an hypoallergenic dog, which according to doctors does not really exists. Although the American Kennel Club said that there is a good selection of low-allergy dogs. Citing poodle as one example.

I’m not really familiar about dogs and their breeds. But what I’m looking forward to is that, with the buzz it has created, will Obama’s dog exceed the popularity of Scooby-Doo, Richie Rich’s Dollar and Lassie?
