Peru: absolutely thin on top and grown-up than the Incas, the Peruvian bald dog seems like an odd fit for the White House.

But Peruvians are mindful of President-elect Barack Obama’s preference for a hypoallergenic strain due to his daughter Malia’s allergies and say the dark, rough-skinned pooch with large ears and a pointy snout could be just the solution.

At his first postelection news conference on Friday, Obama said choosing a pet dog for his daughters is a major issue.”

It has to be hypoallergenic. On the other hand, our preference would be to get a shelter dog, but a lot of shelter dogs are mutts like me,” the president-elect said.

The Friends of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association responded on Monday, sending a letter to the US Embassy in Peru offering the Obama family a 4-month-old pup that responds to Machu Picchu,” the name of Peru’s famed Inca citadel.
