And welcome to my new dog blog. I am so excited about 2009. It started in the most amazing way for me on 31st December 2008 when I had the opportunity to shake hands and ask President Elect Obama about "the dog." If you live under a rock or never read any paper or google alert than you may have not heard about the flagging economies, political struggles in Gaza and "the dog." Yes, the most famous family in the world have been mulling over the biggest decision a family can make - choosing the right dog. It's been water cooler talk not just for people in the dog world but for everyone who champions our four legged friends in every corner of the world. America has been gripped with anticipation as Obama mentioned soon after his Presidential win that he would really like to consider "a mutt like me." It may now be narrowed down to a Labradoodle (Lab and Poodle designer crossbreed) or Portuguese Water Dog (Pedigree) but whatever dog they do find it will create a huge statement to dog lovers everywhere.
I am embarking (no pun intended) on a journey this year to document the story of the dog. It is not just about the Obama dog (whatever breed or crossbreed it may be) but more about finding out what people think about the choice of a dog and what hope dogs bring to us in our day to day lives.
I live and work in the UK but I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world first. I love to travel and I love to meet dog people anywhere I go. I am always learning new things every day through my love of dogs. Dogs are amazing and I hope to share with you all the wonderful things they give to all of us - one dog at time.
Yours truly barking,
Heidi
