Do you guys know about Laddie Boy? The very first White House celebrity dog? He belonged to President Harding, and he was quite a dog - I'll even bet that if there was an internet back then, he would have probably been the first dog blogger. The Smithsonian has a fantastic article all about Laddie Boy:

Goooooooooooooooooooooooo Airedales!

G'day Bogie,
We've heard about Laddie Boy. What a star ay!!! I bet he had a lot of input on running the country too.
As for President Obama's dog choice, we think he should rescue a mutt from the pound.
