I hope that whoever resides in the White House will have at least one pet. That way, there will always be something I like about the president!

4. I'm sad they don't have Buddy anymore :(
That was a tragedy. I have the same kind of dog (Chocolate lab), and the Clintons got Buddy a week after we got Hershey.

5. Poor Buddy. Didn't they literally throw him under the bus? or was it a car?
Just like they do to all those whom they have no use for anymore?

9. Buddy was killed accidentally.
As much as I want Obama to win, I won't accuse Hillary of killing her own dog.

No conspiracy theories, please.

The History of America's 'First Pet'

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has Seamus, a Lab, who is great nephew to former First Dog Buddy. (Former First Cat Socks went to live with Clinton friend Betty Currie.) John Edwards has a Golden retriever and chocolate Lab, and Dennis Kucinich has three rescued shelter dogs: Harry the beagle-basset, Lucie the beagle, and George the cocker spaniel. Barack Obama does not currently have pets, but has promised his daughters they can get a dog when the campaign ends.

On the Republican side, John McCain has the most animals: Sam the English springer spaniel, Coco the mutt, turtles Cuff and Link, Oreo the black and white cat, a ferret, three parakeets, and thirteen saltwater fish. Mike Huckabee has Jet, a black Lab, and Sonic, a Shih Tzu.
