Best Friends Animal Society is heading up an effort to encourage Senator Obama to adopt a dog rather than purchase one. It’s called Obama Family Dog. Apparently, he promised his children that if he allowed him to run for President, they could get a dog. He’s already being courted by the AKC to purchase a purebred dog, so it’s time to let him know what the rescue community thinks! Sign the Best Friends petition in order to help “persuade” Mr. Obama to do the right thing.
