I just thought I would bring these photos out from the archives to illustrate the importance of pets in modern American politics. I don't want to say to much as the photos themselves speak volumes. All I want is to give them a bit of context so you can grasp the importance of pets in society and more importantly there critical role in history.
In the first photo you can see the 44th President of America Barack Obama running to the oval office accompanied by his dog. This photo was taken just after North Korea launched its long range rocket. Baracks meeting with the United Nations Security Council was delayed as Barack's wife, Michele had taken the dog for a walk and couldn't not be found.
The horse with Kennedy was brought in specially to deal with the cuban missile crisis in October 1962 after JFK's other pet couldn't handle the pressure of negotiating with the Russians (dolphins are notoriously bad negotiators). Ironically this horse went by the name of Trotsky.
In the final photo we can see Geroge W's dog licking his lips with anticipation as they arrive at camp david to start peace talks between Israel and Palestine.
