UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- Two western Pennsylvania county commissioners will be bringing more than best wishes to President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration in Washington, D.C.
Fayette County Commissioners Vincent Vicites and Vincent Zapotsky are also delivering a letter from fourth-grader Zack Shiley who is offering his puppy to the Obama family.
The Obamas have been searching for a dog to be their White House pet.
Shiley attends Wharton Elementary School in Farmington. The labradoodle puppy is the only survivor of a litter born to the family's two dogs on Nov. 26.
Vicites says it's a long shot the Obamas will accept the dog, but he noted the First Family has to get their puppy from somebody.
The puppy for the Obamas is getting more press than the bad economy.

Well, it's kind of hard not to want to read a warm, fuzzy, feel good story right about now and a puppy fills the bill, in more ways than one!
