Obey says handicapped boy should keep dog MARSHFIELD (AP) The government is taking a silly stand by insisting that a handicapped boy give up his pet dog in order for his family to stay in subsidized housing, a congressman says.

U.S. Rep. David Obey, intervened on behalf of 5-year-old Joey Seiser of Marshfield, who has cerebral palsy and was given the miniature dachshund, named Hercules, as a gift a year and a half ago. "The family has been told that! the regulations allow fish or-birds," Obey said Monday in a letter to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack Kemp." HUD regulations allow the elderly or a handicapped head of household to have a pet dog. Obey said HUD should change the rules to allow for pet dogs of handicapped children.
