Peru has apparently offered a dog to Obama after hearing of his plans to get his kids a dog for the White House, but also that one of his daughters has allergies, which is restricting their choice. The Peruvian dog is hairless and, apparently, toothless. Which, I suppose, is a good quality when it comes to White House dogs.

Without creating any international diplomatic catastrophes, I’d like to encourage Obama to reject this dog. I’m envisioning Obama in the Oval Office with his kids and a cute puppy, not with a frightening monstrosity of a dog.

That said, if he does become forced to accept this to stay on good terms with Peru, “Cheney” has a nice ring to it for a dog’s name.
