Washington (CNN) George W. Bush made a very important announcement on Facebook Monday — he adopted a puppy.
The 43rd President posted on Facebook that he and his wife, former first lady Laura Bush, adopted a dog from the SPCA of Texas and named him Freddy Bush.
“We already love him, and even our cats Bob and Bernadette are finding Freddy’s charm futile to resist,” Bush wrote on his Facebook.
….
“If you could use a little extra joy in your life, consider adopting a pet from an animal shelter or rescue group,” he wrote.

President Bush once again sets a good example. Nothing wrong with purebreds, but IMHO, unless you plan on breeding and showing your dog and cat, why spend potentially thousands of dollars on a purebred when for maybe $50 more or less, you can get a perfectly good pet from a shelter? He or she may not be purebred, but more often than not, you will get a loving companion from a shelter. There are far too many unloved, unwanted critters out there that need a good home. Bravo to the Bushes for bringing one of them into their home.
