Heh it's more then him just "promising his kids".
Fact is he needed a dog.
The President owning dogs is a tradtion.
It goes all the way back to Theodore Roosevelt.
I think it was firt popularized under Nixon. If he didn't get a dog the press would be all over him. (sadly.)
Even Clinton who had Socks the cat had to get a dog.
