Seems dogs have been nothing but photo-ops for dim POTUS'...at least in my lifetime.
I noticed decades ago how Klintoon came up with a dog toward the end of their tenure. Strange that they suddenly decided to have a dog.
Likewise Uhbama, though he did it faster (I DESPISE how suddenly all these liberals around here had a Portuguese Water Dog pulling them around the neighborhoods, which they never knew before their Savior got 1).
The Bushes at least had their own dogs for real.
Then there is Trump, for whom suddenly none of the conservative forum members were mentioning “dog ownership is a sign of how good a person is” (much like silence on his MIL record). But then, one could congratulate Trump for not capitulating to the nonsense that presidents have to have dogs to be relatable and “good”.
