PEOPLE AND THEIR DOGS!

Here's more proof that we Americans are absolutely, irrationally, madly in love with our dogs. According to a nationwide survey by the Pew Research Center, Americans feel closer to their DOGS than to their PARENTS.

94% of people with dogs say they feel close to their dog. Only 87% of people feel close to their mom, and 74% feel close to their dad.

Cats fall in the middle, at 84%. So, basically, the pecking order goes: Dog, mom, cat, dad. Happy Day-After-Father's Day!

DEPORTED BECAUSE OF LETTER

Caroline Jamieson of Manhattan, New York, is married to an immigrant from Cameroon. He's 34-year-old Herve Takoulo, and he came to the U.S. legally . . . but his visa is now expired.

Caroline and Herve are married, which should get him a green card. The only problem: There's a deportation order out for him . . . which means the immigration department won't even HEAR their case.

Five months ago, out of desperation, Caroline wrote a letter to PRESIDENT OBAMA explaining her situation. She begged him to lift Herve's deportation order so she could prove he deserved to stay here with her.

And it . . . REALLY backfired. On June 3rd, National Fugitive Operations Program agents showed up at the couple's home . . . said, "Did you write a letter to the President?" . . . then ARRESTED Herve and sent him to an immigration jail.

Fortunately for Caroline and Herve, the case got some media attention. And when the "New York Times" started questioning Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials about it, Herve was released.

He's back at home, with an ankle monitor on, while his case is finally getting a review. (--So . . . uh . . . all's well that ends well? Maybe?)

As for Caroline's letter, it was supposed to be forwarded to Immigration, but accidentally got forwarded to the fugitive operations unit instead by someone in the President's office.
