"First Pet" For The Obamas If White House Is Home

Click Here To Vote For The Breed You Think Is Best For The Obama Family

WASHINGTON (CBS4) ― President Harry Truman once said, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and his wife have suggested that whether or not they live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue next year, they will take the former president's advice.

The Obama family has used the promise of a pet as a bargaining chip in asking their daughters, Malia, 9 and Sasha, 7, for their support during the long campaign season. 

The American Kennel Club (AKC) took it upon themselves to offer the Obamas some guidance in finding the appropriate canine friend.

The AKC is asking Americans to cast a vote for the best qualified "first pet" for the Obama family.
 
The public has been given five solid canine choices including the Bichon Frise, the Chinese Crested, the Poodle, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and the Miniature Schnauzer.
