Not to mention, there are hundreds of Yorkies in rescue shelters, however, Im sure more than half of YT members have purchased their pups form breeders... does that mean we are all disappointments too  |
No, of course not. We're not just talking about a random citizen though, we're talking about a world leader. He has many more resources at his command to find a perfect rescue dog. Do we imagine that Obama is calling shelters in his area and putting his name on waiting lists? I highly doubt it. My guess is that when he said he wanted a rescued PWD, every rescue with that breed in the country got in line to offer their dogs up. He literally has a staff of people to check the dog out and train it. I expect more from him because it should be much easier for him to get a rescue; because he IS the President, and should be held to a higher standard of behavior; AND because he said he wanted to get a rescue.
