Presidential First Dogs

Having dogs in the White House was evidently a habit with most of the Presidents of the United States of America.  Trustworthy and friendly, they would undoubtedly have been an asset and an unending source of pleasure for the president, his family and White House staffers.  Add to that the fact that dogs tend to be more photogenic than humans most times, and could possibly be used to distract the media from some of the more embarrassing happenings in the White House.

You can’t trust anybody in politics.  Nowhere has it been more succinctly expressed than in the words of  the 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, who famously said,  “You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.”
