We’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new White House puppy, and if this rumor is true, it’s getting very close!
All indications are that a new dog will enter the lives of the Obama family this week.
Nothing has been confirmed. But what has been mere speculation about the promised Obama family dog now rises to a level just above rumor:
A source familiar with high-ranking Washington pet owners tells Newsradio 780 that the Obamas are getting a Portuguese Water Dog, and that the dog is expected this week.
The source says it is a male puppy.
The source is unnamed (not certain about the dog), and the unnamed source says the Obamas have already met the dog when it visited the White House a couple of Sundays ago.
It is believed the Portuguese Water Dog may be a gift, perhaps from Senator Ted Kennedy and his family – but the source would not talk about that.
Other sources say that a dog has actually been spotted at the White House today!
Hmmm…well, they had been planning on getting a shelter pup, so we’ll see how this plays out. At this point, it’s just a step above a rumor! But today COULD be D-day (Dog day) at the White House!
What do you think they should name the new pup?

My hope is that this dog is raised in such a way that sets a new standard for responsible pet ownership. You can’t get a much bigger platform to promote the message.
If this dog isn’t a rescue that would be very lame.
