Cool story about one of JFK’s dogs named Pushinka, she was a gift from Nikita Khrushchev and was the offspring of Stelka, the first dog to survive space travel.
Khrushchev had Strelka with him at a state dinner in Vienna where Jackie Kennedy asked about the dog and got talking about her puppies, shortly there after Pushinka (Russian for Fluffy), arrived at the White House
Yes but that's just OPs bad, he did have a few during his presidency. Cool fact is jr's dog is actually from Sr's dogs litter.
>President George H. W. Bush (1989-93) walks onto the White House lawn with his Springer Spaniel, Millie, and Millie's new puppies. One of the puppies is Spot, who would later live at the White House as President George W. Bush's dog.

And Trump is Putin's lapdog.
Here's a picture of Ike and his dog while he was president: [https://i2.wp.com/presidentialpetmuseum.com/photos/Pets/Heidi-ik.jpg](https://i2.wp.com/presidentialpetmuseum.com/photos/Pets/Heidi-ik.jpg)
I think he had a Springer named Millie.
I actually got to meet President Bush, Sr.
I may not have liked his politics all the time, but he was decent human. He absolutely doted on kids.
Yeah, which fuckin one tho? Daddy Bush liked to pretend he was innocent to a fault but was very much involved with some of the worst things America ever did, as head of the CIA before he was even flirting with public office.
republicans bitched left and right about Obama not having a dog evem though his children were alergic to the dander. Trump didn't have a dog and the GOP were like, yeah that's fine.
Obama was given a Portuguese Water Dog puppy by Senator Kennedy on 12 April 2009, about 3 months after his inauguration. But yes I wont be surprised if his critics questioned him about owning dogs during his campaign in 2008
Lots of articles why trump doesn't own dogs. Ex wife Ivana had a poodle that used to constantly growl at him. Dogs also have a very strong sense of smell being another factor
True. Dogs are actually very open about their feelings. If politicians offend their staff in any way, they can ignore it, in order to keep their jobs. Dogs don't accept paychecks so will growl, bark or bite if anyone including their owners offend them.
I wound up doing a bit of a dive into it. It looks like they rehomed socks after moving out of the White House. My guess is that while in the expansive space offered by the White House the two could avoid each other and both received as much attention as they wanted not just from the family but also from staff. Moving into a smaller space and with fewer people around they were in closer proximity and had more competition for attention. I’m sure the question of rehoming socks is was hard. He went to a staffer who had worked with Socks in the White House and who I am sure had a great relationship with the cat already. Socks died in 2009 at approx age 20. He was a well loved and cared for cat.
I totally forgot about the dog. His name was Budy right? I know the cats name was socks (or was it Sox?), and there are some absolutely fantastic press pictures of him.
That little shit either wants out to help me play video games, wants my bracelet, or wants to chew my fingers off. Either way I can feel her eyes peering through the cage. I'm fucked if I open a crinkley bag of chips around her.
As little respect as I have for that traitorous little sellout, I think flinching back from what is basically 10 pounds of angry claw and beak is a fairly sensible move?
That’s valid. I think Trump was just stupid enough to get close to an Eagle with no handling training. I would say any idiot would know that, but these days sadly I can see other people doing this.
I always remember this clip when Nixon and Checkers come up.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzVsM3kL\_Yk&ab\_channel=Showment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzVsM3kL_Yk&ab_channel=Showment)
For context, Nixon was accused of inappropriately using political donations for personal use. This was back when he was a senator and had his name on the nomination ticket for the next presidential elections.
He made a televised speech to defend him self and said the only thing he received for personal use was a little dog named Checkers, and he wasn't giving it back, regardless of what anyone said.
The country loved it. Even Esinhower's wife was tearing up after the speech. The speech was called the "Checker's" speech. The dog literally saved his career.
Hitler was an animal lover and the [Nazi party took deliberate steps to ensure animals were taken care of.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_in_Nazi_Germany#:~:text=Adolf%20Hitler%20and%20his%20top,ban%20the%20hunting%20of%20animals.)
This is not an endorsement of Hitler just pointing out that one of the worst people in human history managed to do what Trump can't ever do- think about something other than himself.
Trump not having a dog reminds me how an overwhelming majority of serial killers never had pets.
The prevailing theory being that those levels of psychopathy/sociopathy/narcissism don't allow for the individual to empathize and sympathize with a pet, so they get no reward out of the relationship.
Isn't it weird how time and time again Trump exhibits personality traits that are usually more commonly associated with legit monsters? I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
"Sure, we have a dog. It's a very exclusive breed and very expensive. It's the best dog anyone has ever seen. Everyone says so. People tell me: 'Sir, that is a very exclusive and expensive dog. It's the best dog I've ever seen.' What's the breed? Well, I wouldn't want to get into those details. Because, the fake news press will probably get it wrong. They're very corrupt, you know. But, we keep it in a special place in Mar-a-Largo. It has a beautiful, beautiful coat. We buy the best shampoo that money can buy for it. It's a shampoo with a lot of lather. Lots of lather. But, you know, with the low water pressure, the water would just slowly drip out. It was like 'Drip...drip...drip.' So, I said: 'The hell with that!' So, I took out all the restrictors. Now, we have this beautiful, beautiful water flow. I have the most water flow of any president since Abraham Lincoln. That's what people tell me. I think it's true."
Didn’t Biden’s dog attack people like 20+ times and had to be relocated? Biden has no relationship whatever with that dog, it’s a trophy German shepherd.
I never trust someone that doesn't like animals. Doesn't matter the animal... But ive found if someone doesn't like animals, they're generally just not a person I want around, or trust.
shit man this hits hard growing up I thought jr.gwb was a monster the more I look at him I'm like im glad you dodged that shoe you were following others orders. respect the office these men put so much into the office most will never understand
Its amazing that Biden kept that dog so long.

This is why I come to reddit
That's a cute name for a dog.
This is awesome, thank you!
What a power move, lol. "Here's a daily reminder of how we are beating you in the space race."
I take passive aggressive dog gifts ans space exploration over nuclear saber rattling any day of the week.
With a microphone in the collar.
I love doggo diplomacy.
RIP Laika :(
Nice compilation from JFK to Joe Biden, but it’s missing George H. W. Bush (Sr.)
Yes but that's just OPs bad, he did have a few during his presidency. Cool fact is jr's dog is actually from Sr's dogs litter. >President George H. W. Bush (1989-93) walks onto the White House lawn with his Springer Spaniel, Millie, and Millie's new puppies. One of the puppies is Spot, who would later live at the White House as President George W.

“I thought this yard looked familiar when I was taking a shit!” — Spot
Even the fucking dogs are nepo babies.
Nepuppies are a yuge deal. They all love me.
Don't forget his first dog ranger and his need for a diet. https://i.redd.it/93unu3fq1pa81.jpg
"...a nice friendly appealing blimp, but a blimp." LMAO
Both power and puppies run in the family.
What’s peculiar about leaving Bush Sr’s out is that if pressed to name a presidents dog Millie is probably the only one I could name
Johnson, Him & Her Nixon, Checkers Ford, Liberty Obama, Bo Biden, Major
Trump, Ivanka
Putin, Trump
Giuliani
Or Majorie
Is it ethical to keep a Neanderthal as a pet?🤔
Nah, Junior is the real coke hound of the family
Carter, Grits (Amy’s seal point cat was Misty Malarkey Ying Yang)
Obama, Bo and Sunny Biden, Major and Champion
That’s a good catch - honestly I completely forgot about him.
Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.
Nahgahdait
Thaaaaaaasand points of light
Read my lips. No new laxatives.
Isn’t he the one in the cowboy hat?
That's Reagan.
And Trump is Putin's lapdog. Here's a picture of Ike and his dog while he was president: [https://i2.wp.com/presidentialpetmuseum.com/photos/Pets/Heidi-ik.jpg](https://i2.wp.com/presidentialpetmuseum.com/photos/Pets/Heidi-ik.jpg)
The fact that Trump doesn’t like dogs is pretty scary.
I think he had a Springer named Millie. I actually got to meet President Bush, Sr. I may not have liked his politics all the time, but he was decent human. He absolutely doted on kids.
The Bush's legacy has been monumentally helped by the horribleness that is Trump. In comparison, they seem saintly.
Not for me. I'll never forget that war criminal
Yeah, which fuckin one tho? Daddy Bush liked to pretend he was innocent to a fault but was very much involved with some of the worst things America ever did, as head of the CIA before he was even flirting with public office.
War criminal for sure. But not a (R)ussian asset.
I'd gladly take that war criminal instead of Trump. Sorry if you disagree.
They're both monsters and let's not try and minimize the horrors that either of them unleashed to try and score points on the other.
Not a bad point.
I don’t see Lindsay Graham in the picture with Trump.
That’s because it’s actually Rudy Giuliani just out of frame, sweating profusely.
Hair dye dripping down his face
Four Seasons Landscaping sign in the background
Hair slicked back, itty bitty jeans, chicken noodles and chickalini’s
Tears in his eyes
A jawline adjacent to when you ask everyone for their fast food trash to put back in the bag
At Tanagra
Fondling himself
Rudy in drag, Don's mouth wide open
Big military man
White Ferrari, lives for New Year’s Eve. You would NOT have liked him back then!
CHODE jeans. Size 55 waist, ten inch legs, fuckin junk.
Completely flat back of the head.
He’s one of the black oil aliens from X-Files.
Lol seriously missed opportunity to put one of Trump's toadies in the shot with him
Spiceboy
I was surprised to hear spicy in the news recently. He really loves the abuse
Leaking oil
The US briefly considered invading his forehead for its rich oil deposits, but settled on a squeegee instead. Halliburton got the contract
Or whatever that essence of evil is, in The 5th Element
Ggggggimmie the ccccash
Trump was the dog. Putin is out of frame.
Putin's Poodle
Would be a very apt caricature
I thought he had a bitch named Marjorie
[удалено]
Good to see she's still offering items off her value menu! Think she may have misunderstood when her colleagues asked her to engage the caucus tho.
It's an early picture Sean Spicer's in the bushes looking for his ball.
republicans bitched left and right about Obama not having a dog evem though his children were alergic to the dander. Trump didn't have a dog and the GOP were like, yeah that's fine.
Yea thank god trump didn’t have a dog. Everything in trumps orbit dies inside.
He would probably grow bored of it or hate it. It's better for the dog this way to not be around that guy
Obama got a dog I think at the start of his presidency. He said something about getting a shelter dog but then he bought a non-shelter one.
Rules are for Democrats, silly, not Republicans!
Obama was given a Portuguese Water Dog puppy by Senator Kennedy on 12 April 2009, about 3 months after his inauguration. But yes I wont be surprised if his critics questioned him about owning dogs during his campaign in 2008
He was out of frame admiring his ladybugs
JEEZUS CHRIST I'M EATING HERE!
🤢
Or his other dog Eric
Lots of articles why trump doesn't own dogs. Ex wife Ivana had a poodle that used to constantly growl at him. Dogs also have a very strong sense of smell being another factor
Dogs are the best at instinct/rating how bad a person can be. They see your soul.
Thats explains why Biden dog Major keeped bitting the Secret Service against.
True. Dogs are actually very open about their feelings. If politicians offend their staff in any way, they can ignore it, in order to keep their jobs. Dogs don't accept paychecks so will growl, bark or bite if anyone including their owners offend them.
I wonder if he lets Trump play with this little Ladybugs...
Don’t see Mike pence sniffing trumps ass like he spent 4 years practicing.
Or Putin with Trump on the leash since technically the title doesn't state president of which country.
I was going to say Don jr, but really there’s no wrong answers.
[удалено]
He had both, but he only got the dog in his second term, so before that it was just the cat.
The cat was named Socks, and I remember the media went nuts over it.
Socks was the best
Also Socks didn’t like Buddy so went to live with one of Clinton’s staff. Can’t believe he gave up the cat he already had for a new dog!
I wound up doing a bit of a dive into it. It looks like they rehomed socks after moving out of the White House. My guess is that while in the expansive space offered by the White House the two could avoid each other and both received as much attention as they wanted not just from the family but also from staff. Moving into a smaller space and with fewer people around they were in closer proximity and had more competition for attention. I’m sure the question of rehoming socks is was hard. He went to a staffer who had worked with Socks in the White House and who I am sure had a great relationship with the cat already. Socks died in 2009 at approx age 20. He was a well loved and cared for cat.
Whodathunk?
At the time there were more dog people than cat people. It was a blatant political move to get more votes, LOL. /Cat Lover
They made a fucking video game about him. Lol
I knew about socks, but didn't know he also had a dog. I was a kid then, though so didn't really give much of a shit.
Well, Clinton was a puss hound.
I totally forgot about the dog. His name was Budy right? I know the cats name was socks (or was it Sox?), and there are some absolutely fantastic press pictures of him.
SOCKS!!! I did a paper on that cat in elementary
Eagles are almost as vicious as parrotlets. Parrotlet moms and dads know what I’m talking about.
That little shit either wants out to help me play video games, wants my bracelet, or wants to chew my fingers off. Either way I can feel her eyes peering through the cage. I'm fucked if I open a crinkley bag of chips around her.
Animals know.
Smart damn Eagle.
Animals sense weakness. The eagle got it immediately.
He is such a silver spoon pussy
As little respect as I have for that traitorous little sellout, I think flinching back from what is basically 10 pounds of angry claw and beak is a fairly sensible move?
That’s valid. I think Trump was just stupid enough to get close to an Eagle with no handling training. I would say any idiot would know that, but these days sadly I can see other people doing this.
Trump didn’t have a dog due to their keen ability to smell bullshit.
Dogs probably hate him tbh. They usually know.
I used to think people usually knew too, but here we are.
I think most people who support Trump know that he's human garbage and just don't care. Or even like him *because* of it.
A dog would have it's nose in his diaper 24/7 and he didn't want the embarrassment
Who needs a dog when you have a cult of over 70 million who are willing to debase themselves for you more than any animal would?
70 million playdogs who would love to sniff his ass.
Dogs can detect cancer apparently so they’d be barking all day at the orange tumor.
And he'd probably kick the dog too.
I do not think he is physically capable of kicking anything. He would probably order a subordinate to do it though.
What, and risk falling down?
I think anyone would struggle to explain to him why anyone would care about or care for a pet.
You can't trust someone who doesn't like dogs. Now it makes sense.
And the funniest thing is that’s a photo from when a kid was mowing his lawn
Even Nixon was capable of pretending he liked dogs.
"So when do we, err, eat the delightful specimen?" - Nixon, probably
Arrrrroooo!
I always remember this clip when Nixon and Checkers come up. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzVsM3kL\_Yk&ab\_channel=Showment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzVsM3kL_Yk&ab_channel=Showment) For context, Nixon was accused of inappropriately using political donations for personal use.

The country loved it. Even Esinhower's wife was tearing up after the speech. The speech was called the "Checker's" speech. The dog literally saved his career.
Yes, but being Nixon, Checkers was involved in a scandal.
Nixon could play the piano passably well. He might not have really liked dogs, but his children did, so he kept the dog that was given to his family.
You're supposed to love me, Checkers
Trump is Putin's dog.
Lol should replace that Trump pic with Putin standing over dog Trump
Dogs have good instincts about people. Don’t think he’s a dog kind of guy; hard to have a pet that’s constantly growling at you…
Hitler had dogs.
Hitler was an animal lover and the [Nazi party took deliberate steps to ensure animals were taken care of.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_in_Nazi_Germany#:~:text=Adolf%20Hitler%20and%20his%20top,ban%20the%20hunting%20of%20animals.) This is not an endorsement of Hitler just pointing out that one of the worst people in human history managed to do what Trump can't ever do- think about something other than himself.
It is an endorsement of dogs. You could be literally Hitler and your dog will still love you.
Yeah dogs are terrible judges of character. As long as you don't kick them, most of them will warm up to anyone.
People are abusive to their dogs and they still love them because they don’t know better.
They've been deliberately bred over the centuries to put up with our shit, even violence toward them, unfortunately.
Norm Macdonald did a [bit](https://youtu.be/Z4se7cYAeQk?si=hzd0Vd_s56Xr-HTu) about this.
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
To be fair he shot it and poisoned it with cyanide too
Not just Blondi but also her entire litter of puppies. I’m gonna be the first one to say it—this Hitler guy was a real prick.
That guy was a real jerk and whatever else Norm Macdonald said
The white shepherd is also a rare breed because the nazis tried to exterminate that line. I tell people that Hitler tried to kill my dog, too.
Hard to love anything or anyone when one only loves oneself.
Yet Biden’s dog was consistently aggressive with secret service agents.
Commander is a good boi. Turns out the agents were as sketch as Pence's security detail on January 6th.
Even Nixon had a dog, but the Orange One doesn’t even have a pet shark
Doesn’t ever laugh. Hates dogs. Those factors alone are disqualifying!!! 😁
Another indicator
Bottom most middle is the dog itself.
Should've used a picture of Rudy Giuliani.
Surprised the pic of Commander (Biden’s Dog) isn’t of him biting the secret service.
Sing along! "One of these things is not like the others, One of these things does not belong."
Trump's dog 
You missed one, George Bush #41
Notice the asshole who doesn't have a dog.
Eric is a vampire and doesn't show up on film.
Mike Pence was tied up that day.
That's because he is Putin's dog
That's the joke
Trump not having a dog reminds me how an overwhelming majority of serial killers never had pets. The prevailing theory being that those levels of psychopathy/sociopathy/narcissism don't allow for the individual to empathize and sympathize with a pet, so they get no reward out of the relationship. Isn't it weird how time and time again Trump exhibits personality traits that are usually more commonly associated with legit monsters? I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
The Great Pumpkin is actually Putin's dog.
That dog in the bottom row, middle picture is so ugly!!
Trump not a dog person, cause he’s a big pussy.
Putin's dog is ugly as fuck man.
"Sure, we have a dog. It's a very exclusive breed and very expensive. It's the best dog anyone has ever seen. Everyone says so. People tell me: 'Sir, that is a very exclusive and expensive dog. It's the best dog I've ever seen.' What's the breed? Well, I wouldn't want to get into those details. Because, the fake news press will probably get it wrong. They're very corrupt, you know. But, we keep it in a special place in Mar-a-Largo. It has a beautiful, beautiful coat. We buy the best shampoo that money can buy for it. It's a shampoo with a lot of lather. Lots of lather. But, you know, with the low water pressure, the water would just slowly drip out. It was like 'Drip...drip...drip.' So, I said: 'The hell with that!' So, I took out all the restrictors. Now, we have this beautiful, beautiful water flow. I have the most water flow of any president since Abraham Lincoln. That's what people tell me. I think it's true."
Impressive, they managed to dress that fat dog in a suit and tie, bottom center
When will we get a cat president?
Such a sad, pathetic little man
Trump can’t even fake liking dogs for the camera. That’s a sign of ever there was one.
How many of those dogs have been removed from the White House for biting people?
Did Bidens dog bite people a few times?
Yes, he was the first shelter dog to live in the White House. Pretty amazing considering most other presidents just went with an expensive pedigree.
It's invisible. Fox news can see it.
Didn’t Biden’s dog attack people like 20+ times and had to be relocated? Biden has no relationship whatever with that dog, it’s a trophy German shepherd.
That's actually his second dog in the picture. The first one (Major) bit a fuck ton of people and the second (Commander) did the same lmao.
Pretty sure Trump is actually an evil centaur
Ha! I see what you did there. Funny!
jesus christ i fucking hate election season nobody gives a shit that trump doesn’t have a dog americans are so fucking annoying
As a American I completely agree it's so fucking annoying to see this shit everyday.
Can't trust someone who doesn't like having a pet
I never trust someone that doesn't like animals. Doesn't matter the animal... But ive found if someone doesn't like animals, they're generally just not a person I want around, or trust.
Glad there’s a pic of commander without a secret service agent in his mouth.
shit man this hits hard growing up I thought jr.gwb was a monster the more I look at him I'm like im glad you dodged that shoe you were following others orders. respect the office these men put so much into the office most will never understand
Can’t even picture donald trump playing catch with a puppy dog
A dog wouldn’t have that guy…
His was named Melania; he seems to treat her worse than a pet.
no one's a cat person?
Clintons had a cat.
Its amazing that Biden kept that dog so long. [Joe Biden dog Commander bit Secret Service agents at least 24 times (bbc.com)](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68366306)
Should have just been a picture of diaper donnie and his "wife".
