President Harry Truman once supposedly said: “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” Just about all presidents before and since have taken that advice – until President Trump. There’s even a book about the presidential pets, titled “First Dogs, American Presidents and Their Best Friends.”
President Trump could sure use a good friend right now. I can only imagine all the tough, challenging decisions he is facing. I am still very bullish in supporting his agenda for our country. I still believe that he is a man who is thinking, working hard and keeping his promises to the American people.
Over the years, we have had many presidents who have worked very hard and have faced many challenges. As a physician, I have witnessed how pressure, long hours, and commitment to their country have placed a toll on their health and overall levels of stress. When they leave their presidencies, they seem to have aged from the burden of leading our country.

In America, we doctors and health professionals have made dogs part of our health team, and for good reason. We bring them into hospitals, and we can see the magical changes the dogs create as a sick person spends time with them.
In addition, dogs definitely improve a person’s dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin levels. In one Japanese study, researchers realized that dog owners who spent a lot of time staring into their dogs’ eyes increased levels of oxytocin (the bonding hormone) by up to 300 percent. By spending quality time with your dog or other pet, you will ease tension, improve your thinking, learn how to trust, and receive unconditional love.

German Sheppard?
Black Lab?
Golden Retriever?
No, no dog. He doesn’t have the time. The instant he got a dog, IF he got a dog, the animal would be the subject of ridicule, no matter what size or shape. I’m sure they would photo the dog in whatever way would be most unflattering, like taking a poop on the lawn. No dog.
Remember when the Clint-loons got a dog and they did an entire cartoon show around him as the leader of a group of international dogs wearing cyber armor suits? Eventually hit by a car?
Comic books about the non-allergenic dog that Zero could barely tolerate?
I’d like for the “Presidential dog show” to end with Trump.
German shepherd, best dog for a great President.
