To the lucky pup poised to become the next First Dog: Mind your manners.
Barney, President Bush's usually docile Scottish Terrier, once nipped at a White House intern -- now a FOXNews.com reporter -- when she accidentally dug a fingernail into the pooch while holding him.
Bill Clinton's cat, Socks, routinely hissed at the First Dog, Buddy. And Teddy Roosevelt's pit bull once famously ripped the pants of the French ambassador.
In his election victory speech Tuesday night, President-elect Barack Obama promised his two daughters that they'd be moving into the White House with a new puppy. Now the dogosphere is engaged in widespread speculation over the breed of the presidential pooch-to-be.
I'm sure they'll do some focus groups and studies to determine what breed would present the best image for the first family, but if it's for his girls, he'll probably get something small and easy to manage.

Instead of one big dog...it might be prudent to go to a shelter and get two small dogs...giving the under-represented a new home and spreading the wealth.
