Presidential Pets: The Clinton Administration

9. Always Have the President’s Back

The only words that can describe President Bill Clinton’s relationship with his Chocolate Labrador Retriever, Buddy, are unconditional love. Buddy was given to President Clinton as a gift a few weeks before Monica Lewinsky became a household name and shook up Washington, DC. Buddy stood by his best friend until he was hit and killed by a car in 2002.
