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:

Hey, Bogart, Thanks for this cool article! Airedales RULE!!!
Ever notice that White House dogs have gotten progressively SHORTER? We start with an airedale and end up with Barney! Maybe Mr. Obama will get a Scottish Deerhound…
Now we read somewhere that Dolly Madison in fact introduced the very first “First Dog” to the Whitehouse–and his name was “Satan.” Sounds like a terrier for sure.
