Just a president and his dog: How White House canines inspire US pet owners

Presidents’ Day is just around the corner, but it’s already gone to the dogs … U.S. presidents’ dogs, that is!

Dog-walking and pet-sitting networking site Rover.com has released some fun facts about commander-in-chiefs and their first dogs just in time for Monday’s holiday.

Of the 45 presidents who have occupied the Oval Office, an astounding 32 of them have had a dog — or two. Many of those first canines even inspire dog names outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as well.
