A gift from the heart

In all the activity following the election, there are many questions to be answered, first and foremost among them being, "What kind of dog will the Obamas get?" In his acceptance speech, Barack mentioned a promise made to his girls, and the canine world is abuzz.

Never lacking in concern and generosity, Peru is here to help. The head of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association has offered the president-elect and his family a puppy of the national breed. We see these creatures around, and they are the oddest looking dogs you have ever seen. Even Noah laughs at them. But Peruvians are proud of their dog, and it meets the hypo-allergenic criteria for the Obama girls. Imagine what this could do for U.S-Peru relations!

Here is a picture taken in our neighborhood, and some links below for more pics and information.

Do you think they should take it?
