First Dogs
By Roy Rowan & Brooke Janis
Softcover, 163 pages ($9.95)
 

Ever so often, somebody thinks Washington's gone to the dogs. There's always been some truth to that, as this light and lively little book points out in its spotlight on the many canines that have called the White House home. From George Washington's foxhounds to Barrack Obama's Portuguese water dog, Bo, this fact-filled, "unleashed" look at presidential history also features drawings and paintings from early America and photos beginning with the first-ever of an Oval Office pooch, a glass-plate image of Abe Lincoln's yellow mongrel, Fido.
