So, why doesn’t Donald Trump have a dog? I’m not the only one who’s wondered. “How does the president not have a dog?” Barbra Streisand said recently to the Los Angeles Times. “He’s the first president in 120 years that doesn’t have a dog in the White House.” The explanation from Trump came as he talked appropriately…

The real problem with eradicating puppy mills is that somehow some way the State Departments of Agricultures and for that matter U.S. Department of Agriculture look the other way, and at times so does law enforcement.
