"President-elect Donald Trump has yet another “cabinet member” to nominate: first pet.

That role may soon be filled by an adorable 9-week-old goldendoodle (golden retriever/poodle designer hybrid) puppy named Patton, according to The Washington Post.

Lois Pope, a Trump booster from Florida, says she has offered to gift the puppy to Trump, and she’s confident the little doodle will canoodle with the next president soon enough. “I’m sure,” she told the Post.

“He said, ‘Go over there and show it to Barron,’” Pope recounts of her Thanksgiving weekend conversation with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. Barron is Trump’s 10-year-old son with wife Melania. A “big smile came over” the boy’s face, Pope says."

But the puppy never made it to the WH or to Trump Tower (fortunately for the puppy). http://www.inquisitr.com/3899657/barron-trump-not-getting-goldendoodle-puppy-after-all-philanthropist-withdraws-offer-of-a-dog-to-trumps-white-house/

Trump said he was too busy to take care of a dog.
