Didn't know about Rick Scott~sheesh.

And what ever happened to the Obama's dogs anyway?

Interesting you mention that/I have asked myself that same question many times.

Side-note on Jimmy Carter/that had the facade of a teetotaler, salt of the earth, humanitarian.

Carter and the stray dog

At his home in Plains, Ga., Carter once tried to attack and kill a small dog with a bow saw. Agents had befriended the stray dog, a terrier, and given it the code name Dolphin.

When the dog ate some food Carter's wife, Rosalynn, had put out for their Siamese cat, Carter "got the bow saw off a woodpile near the family room patio" and "tried to kill the dog," one agent who was there told Kessler.

Dolphin dodged the attack, but Carter insisted that agents remove the dog from Plains. The orphan dog was given to the press corps.

I had always thought Carter (political beliefs aside) was sincere/the real deal. Alas, my heroes fall one by one.
