I think if Oprah sticks by her word to educate and adopt from now on, Barach Obama will adopt a rescue dog, even if it is a purebred animal. Oprah is obviously very close to him, very supportive, and I imagine that given the chance, she will express her feelings.

I do think that this is a very private decision and if Mr. Obama and his family want to buy a purebred puppy, that is their choice. Two out of 3 of my dogs are ones I chose as puppies and I certainly don't regret either of them.

Best wishes and intentions.
