A puppy named Obama campaigns for a change ... of address


By Julia Szabo

The speech on race that Sen. Barack Obama  delivered Tuesday in Philadelphia has inspired author, animal advocate, foster caregiver, and FetchDog friend Carole Raphaelle Davis to name her most recent rescue Obama. He's a small, black, mixed-breed pup, approximately eight months old and 14 pounds, and he's available for adoption.

Davis, who has appointed herself the dog's campaign manager, is busy sending out emails containing the following slogans: "Elect Obama the puppy into your home for 2008! He has the audacity of hope! He's sleek, he's gorgeous! He's an optimist, his tail wags a mile a minute, he's a great kisser, he's smart, he's calm, he's a good guy, and he deserves to win your heart!"

Perhaps Davis has a speechwriting career in her future. In the meantime, her cute canine candidate is a natural for Puppies 4 Obama, the online constituency that aims to harness "Puppy Power" on behalf of its pet politico. Being a black dog, Obama the pup is almost certain to experience prejudice in his lifetime - but it's hoped that his candidacy, like his namesake's, will have the power to change minds on the issue. To meet the canine Obama, contact Davis here.
