President Bidens German shepherds, Major and the late Champ, are the latest in a long line of presidential dogs. Dating all the way back to George Washington, dogs have been constant companions to nearly all of America's presidents. Of the past 46 presidents, 31 have had at least one dog at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Organized by historical eras, All-American Dogs will take readers through the captivating history of the White Houses four-legged friends, the impact they had on their owner-in-chiefs, and, ultimately, American history.
From the assassination of President Lincoln's dog after Lincoln's own death to President Hoover's Belgian shepherd, King Tut, who helped President Hoover win the election after appearing in a campaign photo, these furry members of the first family often had a lasting impact on the administrations that kept them.
As historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager will include original research and rare photographs from the National Archives to trace the history of America's first dogs. From post-Revolutionary dogs, to Civil War era dogs, to Cold War dogs, Hager will show the differences and similarities of how our nation viewed man's best friend.
Readers will learn not only past presidents dogs in each historical era, but also the cultural history of dogs as pets, and the ways in which Americans' relationships with dogs have evolved over the past two centuries.
