No Sarah, it isn't inspirational! Palin's dog in custody!

34. They have not commented since the controversy erupted.

They have defenders on their page who insist it is not a Puppy Jake dog. The two links in my earlier post are from January 2, which point to their newsletter article about the first dog they placed (not with the Palins), and describe the second placement as starting in a couple of weeks (again not with the Palins). So - as of yesterday, they are claiming to have placed only one dog (with a second placement waiting in the wings).

They have been deleting critical comments, and calls for them to make a statement from their facebook page (and apparently have blocked some of the more persistent posters).

BUT on the other hand - Puppy Jake shared Palin's announcement that the dog came from Puppy Jake on their facebook on August 25 - and didn't bother to say it wasn't really true.

This article seems to have the most complete information. It looks to me as if Palin knows someone connected with Puppy Jake and had them give the dog a little basic obedience training - she decided to give kudos to Puppy Jake (and stretch the truth a little in the process), and it looked like good free publicity at the time...

Bottom line, it doesn't appear to be a Puppy Jake dog - but they went along with her earlier claim that it was in order to get the free publicity.
