A President's Best Friend

Sletch2_fdr_memorial

Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the only US President depicted with his pet in an official government memorial.  Brother Roosevelt's dog, Fala, appears in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, Washington, DC.

There are no doubt other examples, but Meriwether Lewis also appears with his dog Seaman, who accompanied Brother Lewis on the famed Lewis and Clark Expedition, in a statue in Kansas City.
