Ever since president-elect Obama mentioned that his kids are getting a puppy, dog lovers around the world have been panting with anticipation to learn what kind of dog will become first pup.
Obama, who described the decision as a "major issue," is on the hunt for an allergy-free dog, since daughter Malia is allergic. Seeing that Obama is the first "global president," it's not surprising that the Fido frenzy has gone international.
Peru has suggested its native Peruvian hairless dog, a bald, toothless breed, which actually looks cuter than it sounds. (You can get better acquainted with the breed here.) The country even has a specific dog in mind. Nicknamed "Ears," the four-month-old has been offered formally to the future first family in a letter sent to the U.S. Embassy.

Oh My God! This dog is adorable!!!
I want him!! -
You cannot tell so much in this shot, but this dog actually has a mohawk and was used by ancient Peruvians for medicinal purposes. When a person came to the village healer, they would give the sick person the dog and instruct them to sleep with them.
The Peruvian Hairless gives off a lot of Body heat and kept the patient warm.

If the Obamas not only don't get a shelter dog, but buy a dog bred to have no hair and no teeth, that will be a double no no. Let's hope not.
