"If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog," Harry Truman once said. Perhaps that's why, for much of our Republic's history, there have been two top dogs at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—one with two legs, one with four. First Dogs, by distinguished journalist Roy Rowan and researcher Brooke Janis, tells the whole doggone story, from the days before there was a White House to Barack Obama's newly adopted presidential pup, Bo.
Here's a lighthearted romp through American history, packed with drawings and paintings from early America, plus photographs, starting with Abraham Lincoln's Fido. Not only did these four-footed goodwill ambassadors humanize their distinguished masters, they offered them a little unconditional love in a loveless town.
First Dogs gives dog lovers and history lovers a new angle on presidential history and is more fun than you can shake a stick (or rubber bone) at.

First Dogs: American Presidents and Their Best Friends
A dispassionate summary of canines in the White House. I'm not a fan of the Marley and Me tearjerkers, but you have to wonder if the authors were cat people. For all the heart they brought to the subject they could have been documenting First Stamp Collections. And don't get me started on their "describing political cartoons to the blind" forays.
All that being said it was an enjoyable and quick read, but it left me wanting more. Some fascinating stories were just touched upon and delving into them could have made for a better book.
