That is the beloved and belated “Spot.”
An original Bush pup from Millie, the
elder Bushes beloved springer spaniel.
Many stories about dear Spot. Right, snugs?
Thank you very much. I feel much better knowing Spot’s identity, and that he (?) not been relegated to no account status. In truth, I could not believe that Dubya wouldn’t have high regard for any dog in his entourage; I think he likes dogs just as I do. And, BTW, in that photo it appeared that Spot was carrying a tennis ball in his mouth, lookin’ for Dubya to throw it again.
