September 23 is Going to the Dogs...as Leaders

"If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."

Harry S. Truman had it right when he made that statement, and today they get celebrated.  September 23 is Dogs in Politics Day.  Hey, those four legged pooches work hard.  They have to stay pampered and polished and try to make their humans look good.  It often seems like an impossible task.

Dogs play an important role in making or breaking their humans image and character.  They've even had speeches named after them.  Like Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Fala Speech" where he stated, "you can criticize me, my wife and my family, but you can't criticize my little dog."
