A Gallery Of Dogs And Their Presidents

LOVE ME, LOVE my dog, said the Elizabethan John Heywood. For Dartmouth presidents and their First Pets, the reverse has worked just as well. President John Dickeys retriever walked him home every night on a leash "to make sure Dr. Dickey doesn't run away," according to the humorist Corey Ford. On the other hand, President John Kemeny wasn't on a leash. He owned a cat.
