Drawings, paintings & photos. Media tour.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Presidential History Unleashed--Fido to Fala, Millie to Bo</b> <p/> "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. <i>First Dogs</i>, 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. <p/> 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. <p/><i>First Dogs</i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Rowan intertwines anecdotes and dozens of photographs with hard-to-stop-reading stories that track the canine legacy on America's democracy. --St. Louis Post-Dispatch<br><br><br>Succeeds in keeping the tail of trivia wagging the dog of American history.
