"I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!" Press Conference

He may already be viewed as a disgraced politician, but former Illinois governor  Rod Blagojevich really went to the dogs for a Halloween contest recently.

One dog owner dressed up his dog to resemble Blagojevich, complete with black toupee, for the event that benefited PAWS Chicago, Chicago’s largest non-profit, no kill humane shelter.

The event was sponsored by luxury pet boutique Tails in the City.

PAWS Chicago is the shelter that Oprah Winfrey chose to adopt her recent four legged additions.

Take a look at the video and decide for yourself.

Can this doggie take Blago’s place in the House?

Cynics may claim Oprah Winfrey is doing damage control for her free Kentucky Fried Chicken for everyone stunt by featuring puppies for Chicago’s PAWS shelter on the June cover of her magazine.

But who cares? It gets the word out on adopting homeless four legged friends, doesn’t promote a kennel or breeder, and it’s history. That’s right, history, as this issue is one of the few that features another creature other than Oprah.

“That’s Sadie on O’s June cover, hugging my right shoulder, making her bid for a new life with me,” Oprah writes on Oprah.com. “Right before we shot the photo—at PAWS Chicago, the city’s largest no-kill humane shelter—she had licked my ear and whispered, “Please take me with you.””

Oprah is no stranger to doggie love, as she’s featured undercover footage of puppy mills on her show, urging viewers to adopt instead. She even dedicated an episode to her deceased cocker spaniel.
