It’s great that the Obamas adopted a dog, says the Humane Society of the United States. But the group is worried that puppy mills will soon be cranking out Portuguese water dogs faster than AIG issues executive bonus checks.
The group has seen this phenomenon before. After the movie “101 Dalmatians,” the spotted dogs overwhelmed animals shelters. Ditto for Chihuahuas after Paris Hilton and other celebrities started carrying around the little Mexican animals.
