The Obama puppy - is there a Kennedy connection?

TMZ is saying that the Obama’s will be welcoming a puppy into their home next week. The puppy is a Portuguese Water Dog and is from the same Texas kennel as the Kennedy family dog.

We have lots of exclusive details on the Portuguese Water Dog President Barack Obama and Michelle are getting for Sasha and Malia. The pooch will make its grand entrance on Tuesday, and it’s coming from a prominent Texas kennel, with the help of Senator Ted Kennedy’s family.

The black dog — a male — is approximately six months old. We’ve learned it was bred at the kennel and sold to someone who gave it back. The kennel is now “re-homing” the dog to the Obamas. The dog was named Charlie, but the Obamas will rename it.

Now here’s where the Kennedys come into play. The kennel has sold the Kennedys three Portuguese Water Dogs in the past, all from the same lineage.

TMZ has the rest about the Obama’s new Portuguese Water Dog.
