DescriptionAttorney General Mike Hatch's office really went to the dogs.

Hatch brought his golden retriever Bella and her nine puppies to the office Tuesday at the request of his staff, which wanted to throw a "puppy shower." Laddie, the dogs' father, stayed home.

Leslie Sandberg, a spokeswoman for Hatch, said all the puppies have been purchased or spoken for. But it will be a few weeks before the month-old puppies head to their new homes.

The pups got a taste of politics when they wandered into a news conference, where Hatch was announcing a bill that would clamp down on pushy debt collectors.

Hatch said of the puppies, "They were born Republicans, but then they opened their eyes and now they're Democrats."
