Ok, yes, it’s a far stretch–a Portuguese water dog is not a “Latino dog” (although I like the sounds of that–Latino dog!), but hell, Portugal colonized enough South American countries, I guess we can make a spot for their damn dogs, yes?

Anyway, here’s a picture of the type of dog breed that the Obama family has decided to adopt:

Sorta an ugly mutt, if I do say so myself. And apparently all the dog people are nervous because these dogs are pretty mischievous and Oh Nos can the Obama fam handle a mischievous dog???

“They’re really good at opening refrigerators and cabinets and, so, thank God the White House has staff to take care of things,” said Janet Boyd, an “Obama fan” from Snohomish, Wash., who owns three Portuguese water dogs and is active in the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America. “I don’t think they’re an easy dog and that’s why I have a little hesitation – and hope for the best.”

Because clearly a family that took well over five months of time to research and decide are going into this commitment with their blinders on, right? /snark.

Anyway, what do VLatin@s think? Can the Obamas handle this dog? Do you think it’s an ugly mutt like I do? Talk, talk!
