Nothing But Net

...這篇不是來罵人的XD

根據媒體報導，白宮第一狗，"是一隻6個月大的黑色葡萄牙水犬...民主黨參議員愛德華甘迺迪送給美國第一家庭的" ，這跟之前的宣稱要養流浪狗/米克斯，並不一致。

今早看到 Joe Trippi 寫了篇文章，"Bo has the White House, but what about the rest of America's pets?"，幫待認養的狗請命，頗感好奇，阿波怎麼又變成是被認養的狗了？

The Obamas are in the unique position of being advocates by example, and their decision to adopt Bo, who had been returned after being adopted by another family, is a good act to follow.

上網找了一下資料，原來內幕相當驚人，宛如反恐24/越獄PB/英雄Heroes的情節。美國真是個恐怖的國家啊...

Here's where the intrigue comes in:

• Bo's breeders happen to have bred Sen. Edward Kennedy's Portuguese water dogs. The Massachusetts Democrat, an Obama friend and political ally, also acquired a pup from Bo's litter. Bo's breeders are fans of Obama and named Bo's litter the Hope and Change litter.
• Bo's first owner lives in Washington.
• Bo was returned to the breeder in early March, fitting the spring timeline the Obamas had given for their dog adoption.
• Kennedy and his wife Victoria helped line Bo up with the Obamas. Before moving into the White House, the pup spent nearly a month with the Kennedys' dog trainer in Virginia.
• In fact, Bo is a gift to the Obamas' daughters, Malia and Sasha, from the Kennedys, said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, a spokeswoman for Michelle Obama. The puppy officially arrives Tuesday.
