Allergists dispute Obama’s claim that there are “hypoallergenic dogs:”
President-elect Barack Obama has said his young daughters have been promised a dog with their move to the White House. And in his first post-election news conference last week, he announced that Malia “is allergic, so it has to be hypoallergenic.” It’s a common misconception. In response, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology issued a statement Wednesday saying, “There is no truly ‘hypoallergenic’ dog.”
Another campaign promise broken in the new administration, at the expense of the children, no less.
