Oh, you want a dog? Here is a dog for you, straight from the fires of HELL. You can dress it up in a sweater and some lipstick, and it will look exactly like Liz Taylor. This is a Peruvian Hairless dog, ancient pet of the Incas. It is prone to acne and blackheads. Some crazy Peruvian lady wants to give it to you because she hates America. [MSNBC]

sarah?
And they’ll name the dog ‘Ali Akbar’ just to irritate the wingnuts
Wow. It’ll be the second-largest pair of ears in the White House.
So, harsh! This little guy looks sweet. Picking on Palin is one thing. Picking on a cute little dog is just mean.
Odie?
from wikipedia:
“The dark-colored dogs get used to direct sunlight and need to be looked after only in spring when sunlight gets stronger. The light-colored dogs (copper) and spotted ones have to be protected always, in summer. They tend to quickly sunburn.”
just like people!
wonder if the crazy lady lives in a radiator

kind of looks like a reindeer.
That dog has Shane Battier’s scalp.
Wouldn’t it produce far more heroic looking photo ops if Obama forgets about the pooch and takes up falconeering instead?
Also from wikipedia: “According to the FCI breed standard, the most important aspect of its appearance is its hairlessness.”
No F’in shit. You don’t say…
I’d say four years supply of Xertec would be a better investment than that rancid looking mutt.
That’s not a dog, that’s ANUBIS, ancient Egyptian Protector of the Soul in Afterlife!
Johnny Zhivago:
Especially with Dick Cheney’s eyeball in it’s talons.
last thing the photographer ever saw. that cocked ear was preparing to shoot acid. black inky sticky acid.
Well it did such a bang-up job protecting the freakin’ Incas, we can all use them to patrol our hobo villages.
choinski: feeding him salaami
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you. I have a banana for an ear.
They’ll call it “Chemo”.
Servo: Make it both eyeballs. Michelle needs a new pair of earrings.
does it fly?
I ran into the copper variety of this dog once at an Autism Awareness Festival. It was a “helper dog”, though it was so nightmarish, I don’t know what child would want to go anywhere near it– all bulgy eyes, skin like an overstuffed, warty sausage, not to mention enormous testicles. It would haunt my dreams for months to come.
GAH!
And yet, a Chinese Crested is uglier.
I think the Obamas should go for a Puli! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puli
Yes, it’s hypoallergenic!
bitchincamaro: Win.
monty: If you dropkick it hard enough, it might for a short while.
Did anyone have to read “Mutt Like Me” in high school?
Carl Rover?
itgetter: DOG!!! they said DOG i didnt hear anybody say MOP or rat for that matter. That chinese (dog?) is the ugliest thing ive seen all day.
I don’t think I can stand 8 years of watching a hairless dog during the winter… That would be pitiful… and a hairless dog wearing a sweater would be worse.
I think it looks like a perfectly nice dog. And one of my very best friends is bald and prone to acne and blackheads… what are you tryin’ to say, huh?
Mr. Hairless Ugly Inca Dog should really wonder if Mrs. Hairless Ugly Inca Dog steps out with the local llamas.
It looks like a deer.
Aren’t poodles hypoallergenic? And aren’t there billions of rescue poodles out there who were abandoned by their douchebag owners? Why do we have to overthink this so much?
Poodles = hyperintelligent elites = game over. Welcome to the White House, Fifi.
Or a jackal from the fires of hell.
I think that dog looks like Frank the bunny from Donny Darko.
“You can dress it up in a sweater and some lipstick, and it will look exactly like Liz Taylor.” Or you can simply do nothing and it will look like Tara Reid! LOLZ!!!1!
he’s actually kind of cute, for a lizard.
Letting the dog “hug” you is supposed to help with stomach pain and other disorders, according to Peruvian folklore.
Also, it helps your knee achieve orgasm.
itgetter: I think they should get a Portugese Water Dog. We talked about these dogs before in the comments. Wikipedia claims they can herd fish into nets. Pretty cool dogs if that’s true.
Hello, Cerberus.
Love the “..the fuck YOU lookin’ at?” expression.
That’s the ugliest God damned thing I’ve ever seen. Well, that’s if you don’t include this:

You know he owes the elction to Peru and its Shaman. He cannot refuse a gist from the gods.
wheelie: What is it with the ‘MOP’ dogs, have any of you ever owned a really hairy dog? They go in the kitchen get a drink of water then they go outside dipping water the whole way then they sniff the dirt looking for a place to pee then they end up with ‘muddy beard’(citation needed). then they try to lick your face and you arent sure for about 5 seconds if you have mud or poo on your face. or they go out and roll in the dirt and come inside and spread that shit all over the house, so you end up with a reverse dustmop. and no the muddy beard isnt like a dirty snchez.
Lassie, the Hockey Mom
Shaddap all you haters…the dog will be fine and relaxed once he gets his Hopey Comfort Handjob from Michele Bachman.
dano: Thanks jackass now i have to go gouge my eyes out. Promise me we will never have to look at Dracula Cunt again.
ADMIRAL ACKBAR!
wheelie: The difficulty in choosing a hypoallergenic dog is that most of them look either scary or prissy. I like the Portuguese Water Dog though. That fish thing is just cool.
One of my friends used to get extremely drunk, then he’d vomit so forcefully that blood vessels would burst in his eyes. I’d see him the morning after a bender with his bloodshot eyes and pathetic hangdog expression. That’s what this photo reminds me of.
Sure, they were the “ancient pet of the Incas”, if by “pet” you mean “meat”. Are you calling the Obamas dog-eaters? That’s racist.
Lazy Media: Yeah, poodles are hypoallergenic. Just don’t get some dumb toy poodle, and preferably not a white one because it’d just be too hard to keep clean for photo ops.
Actually who cares about hypoallergenicness anyway? Sure one of the girls is supposedly “allergic” but so what, she’ll get used to it and stop being allergic in less than a month. Most people who claim to be allergic are overreacting and are really just like “when I shove the entire dog in my eye it tends to get a tad watery”.
Perhaps he would make a better pet for Joe the Plumber.
Who’s holing the other end of that leash? That dog demands free range of the Licoln bedroom.
How about a Kerry Blue Terrier? It’s hypoallergenic and would be a way of getting Kerry into the administration without actually, you know, getting Kerry into the administration.
That does not look like a Peruvian Inca Orchid to me. that looks like a Mexican Xoloitzquentle. In fact it looks just like my dog Moches brother! Moche is a red coated variety of this dog breed.
They usually have a coated one in every litter and now the AKC recognizes both the coated and naked Xolo.
Moche is still wearing his “Bark Obama ‘08″ button as a member of the hypo-allergenic dog faction.
Moche and his friend Chappy are going to hold Mr. Obama to his promise of a dog for the girls. They are both members of the Puppy-Happy Children Alliance.
nypricks: IT’S A TRAP!
It looks like it was saved by Fire Marshall Bill.
Who’s going to step up and buy the First Dog its subscription to Proactiv?
Seeing this picture makes me realize how badly I want this website to just be pictures of adorable puppies. I’m sure there is nothing else like that on any of the internets. Besides, didn’t Obama promise to make politics illegal? They are racist and divisive, let’s just end it, you guys.
Peruvian? Where I am from, we call that a Brazilian.
My cat is hypoallergenic. Unfortunately he is also allergic to everything, including, likely, our other cat. He’s a textbook example of why pedigree pets are somewhat lacking in the gene pool department (although he’s awesome), given the amount of cash required to keep him functioning - go mutt!
I still say that the Obamas should adopt Tony Blair. He did such a great job as W’s poodle.
I’m not sure the obedience madrassas in DC take that breed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoallergenic_dog_breeds
There’s quite a few dogs to choose from and nearly all of them have rescue organizations to help you find one that needs a home.
I say Yes we can to Westies!
Garble: Greyhounds are on the list? Well then duh they need to adopt a greyhound. There are tons of them needing homes and you don’t need to fool with having a puppy around.
But the whole hypo-allergenic thing is kinda sissy. That’s why god gave us antihistamines.
If they’re considering something that ugly, they should just get a lizard and name it fluffy.
Looks like Dick Cheney’s Halliburton Corp. (née Umbrella Corp.) wants to bequeath a Cerberus T-Virus-infected pooch to Malia…
Lazy Media: Yesh! A big, black, standard. Friendly, smart, cuddly, and a fierce defender of children. The end.
That dog has mange I can believe in.
But does he bite? At least some stupid reporter won’t be sticking his dumb fingers down there to pet him - he’s too befuggly.
I can haz puppy?
Why does Peru hate Obama? Why do they want to give them the MONTAUK FUCKING MONSTER!!?!?
lazyb: I say ‘Yes We Can’ to the greyhounds!! The Obamas are rather a long and leggy group anyway, and it would be nice to have a first dog that resembles its owners.
I would also love to witness a sight hound at the annual Easter Egg Hunt, possibly taking down the Easter Bunny…
What a pretty darling! I hope they take it, even if they don’t want it. They can get it a “companion” if they really want a different dog; it would be such a shame to turn down such a sweet gesture.
We’re going to have the coolest White House ever. Man.
Being very allergic to dogs myself (hives, wheezy cough), I wholeheartedly recommend a Portuguese Water Dog. We have one and I can “shove the entire dog in my eye” and not get itchy at all. Plus, they are adorable, smart, loving and lively beings.
Totally the dog from Ghostbusters.
I am the Keymaster. Are you the Gatekeeper?
All critters enjoy watching us Americans bag there poop. Peruvians are no exemption. I can’t watch MSNBC anymore because of that one soup commercial with that creepy chef that looks like Mike Huckabee.
That’s friggin’ adorable. I want one.
nurple: And that’s exactly why I want him so much. I’m not even a dog person and I think that dog would look feckin’ awesome on my porch. Think of the children it’d scare!
thebeatgoeson: he kinda looks like hopey!
