Obama Family To Adopt Dog

By Dustin Vissering

During his dinner speech at the Taking Action for Animals conference, presidential candidate Barack Obama announced that he and his family will be adopting a dog.

Animal welfare groups have been circulating petitions urging Obama to adopt a dog, rather than purchase one from a breeder or pet store.

President and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States Wayne Pacelle verified that Barack Obama will adopt a dog.

The Obamas said in a recent TV interview that they will wait to adopt a dog until after the election, win or lose.
