During his dinner speech at the Taking Action for Animals conference, presidential candidate Barack Obama announced that he and his family will be adopting a dog.
Animal welfare groups have been circulating petitions urging Obama to adopt a dog, rather than purchase one from a breeder or pet store.
President and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States Wayne Pacelle verified that Barack Obama will adopt a dog.
The Obamas said in a recent TV interview that they will wait to adopt a dog until after the election, win or lose.
