First Pup Gets First Look at White House
President Clinton’s new puppy moved into the White House on Sunday.
“He’s here to stay,” White House spokesman Barry Toiv said.
The chocolate-colored Labrador puppy, a gift from a friend of Clinton’s, arrived in the back of a car.
After the dog was unloaded and leashed, Clinton could be seen taking him for a brief stroll in front of the portico at the White House south entrance.
Later, the dog took a ride in the presidential limousine. He accompanied the president to a holiday reception hosted by Robert S. Bennett, Clinton’s attorney. White House aides walked the dog down a Washington street while Clinton attended the party.
The 3-month-old dog remains unnamed, though Americans have offered Clinton a flood of suggestions.
