Hope for Even a Mutt

Artist Shepard Fairey, widely known for creating the Barack Obama "Hope" image, designed a poster for a new Adopt-a-Pet.com campaign that seeks to shed light on the animals up for adoption at shelters across the country.

The nationwide effort features a poster created by Fairey -- the man TIME magazine named "Icon Maker" of the year -- that's modeled on his Obama "Hope" poster. "The image I created for this print reminds me of a dog I had as a kid, a mutt named Honey," Fairey said. From Pet-Product News.

Sheesh. What's next? Are folks going to dictate what kind of breakfast cereal the Obama kids should eat? As the owner of a papered standard Poodle, I have no problem whatsoever if the Obamas want to get a purebred dog.
