It is amazing how little it takes for us to instantly be intrigued about something.
On Tuesday during his acceptance speech Barack Obama mentioned that he promised his daughters a puppy if he won. Less than a week later when you search “Puppy” on Google the first related result is “Obama Puppy.”
On Friday president-elect Obama gave his first press conference after winning the election. One of the questions he was asked was “What type of dog are you getting?” Barack responded that the dog must be hypoallergenic due to eldest daughter Malia having an allergy and that they would like to get the dog from a shelter.
Google trends shows a DRAMATIC spike in searches for “hypoallergenic dogs”
People seem to have an instant fascination with what kind of puppy the Obama family will get and when they will get it. With all the things that happened last week these are very interesting terms to see spikes. But in all fairness, who doesn’t love a puppy?
