I’m reading a book called First Dogs. Neat stories. Fido, Lincoln’s dog, was the first presidential dog to be photographed, and Lincoln had the photo taken to give his boys a picture to take to Washington. I knew that Lincoln had decided to leave Fido behind after his election, but I didn’t know all of these details. Neat conditions for the foster family. Lincoln was always an animal lover. Once a reporter asked Mary what her husband’s hobbies were, and she replied, “Cats.”
Lincoln was a really good man.
