I could be wrong, but I don't believe it will have an excess of people out buying them. They are not a common breed and I don't foresee it having the same effect as a Hollywood movie where a billion kids see a type of dog doing miraculous things and then badgering mom and dad to get them one too. I am sure it may cause some increase in interest but hopefully not 'fill the shelters' type of interest.

Anyway I think this pup is cute and I enjoyed reading his story here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30188436/
