How fitting is this, the first recognized pet in the White House
Family is an Airedale.
There were many presidential pets before him, Laddie
Boy was the first to receive regular coverage from newspaper reporters.
Laddie Boy's got a huge amount of attention in the
press. There have been famous dogs since, but never anything like this."
During their time in the White House, from 1921 to 1923, the Hardings included their dog in almost every aspect of their daily lives. When Harding golfed with friends, Laddie Boy tagged along. During cabinet meetings, the dog sat in (perched on his own chair). At fundraising events, the first lady frequently had Laddie Boy make appearances. The dog was such a prominent White House personality that the Washington Star and the New York Times seemed to run stories about the terrier almost daily in the months after Harding took office.Born on July 26, 1920, at the Caswell Kennels in Toledo, Ohio, Laddie Boy was 6 months old when he arrived at the White House on March 5, 1921, the day after Harding's inauguration.
