Now that President Obama is in office he has some big decisions to make! One of those decisions includes choosing a new puppy for his daughters. The girls were told that if they were good during the presidential campaign, they could get a new puppy to live with them at the White House. What should they choose? There are so many wonderful dog breeds to decide from. Mrs. Fuhs’ Fourth grade class wrote a persuasive paragraph on which breed of dog would be the best White House pet for Sasha and Malia. Here are a few samples…but of course the final choice will be up to the Obama family. We wish them the best of luck! Below are letters written by Aniyah, Anthony and Gena.
A dog that would be great for the Obama girls is a cute little Yorkie. They are very friendly and small. The White House would still be clean because Yorkies don’t shed. Yorkies are born with a beautiful black and tan coat and sparkling dark eyes. Yorkies have long, soft, straight fur. The best part is they don’t usually bite. The Obama girls would like this cute little dog because it’s so playful and has lots of energy! Plus, Yorkies are so, so cute!!

The ideal dog for the Obama girls is a Maltese. I think a Maltese is the ideal dog for president Obama’s daughters because the Maltese has human hair. It doesn’t shed and they are not rough. More reasons why the Obama daughters should get a Maltese is that a Maltese is very calm and loving. It eats regular food. It also won’t go around the White House knocking valuable or priceless items over.

Well… Well… Well… looks like you are looking for a dog. May I recommend a Jack Russel Terrier? They are perfect for your family. They don’t shed at all. They love to run and play. When you go to bed it may even sleep with you. They love to be walked around the block with you. They love to curl up on you when you’re lying down. That is the perfect dog for you and your family.
