The dogs of President Jimmy Carter

We know from this picture that Jimmy Carter had a dog when he was a boy growing up in Georgia. Here he is posed with his dog, Bozo.

When the Carters arrived in Washington, they didn’t bring any dogs. His daughter Amy was given a dog, Grits, by her teacher at the public school she attended.

It isn’t known whether the teacher failed to ask permission or the dog was unaware of Presidential protocol. For whatever reason the dog was abruptly returned to the teacher.

Amy had a Siamese cat named Misty Malarki Ying Yang with whom she was often photographed.

That looks like the dog I had as a kid. Carter needed a lot of dogs to protect him from the killer rabbits he claimed were attacking him.

Bozo was a better name for Jimmy than the poor dog.

I've also come across a few blogs dedicated to Bo. I don't know if there is an official site for him or not.

I agree with Cube!!!! Jimmy Carter was the worst President we ever had. He's not even worthy to have a dog!
Speaking of presidents, I need to go give birth to an Obama and wipe my Pelosi!!!!!
