Isn't this a great photo? It's from Jana Kohl's book, A Rare Breed of Love. I recently attended her book signing and she said she had also approached Hillary Clinton and John McCain to pose with her dog, Baby. Kohl is hoping to raise awareness of the horrendous conditions in puppy mills. Of course, (no big surprise) Clinton and McCain never responded to Kohl's request. Barack Obama, being the great man that he is, posed with Baby, a dog Kohl rescued from a puppy mill. Hopefully he will help get the message out there to people who aren't yet aware of what these dogs go through. I believe he and his family are planning to adopt a dog rather than buy from a breeder. What a wonderful example he is - in every way.
