When George W. Bush moves into the White House this week, he'll have his faithful springer spaniel Spot Fetcher Bush at his heel. The new First Dog should feel right at home. She was born at the White House in 1989! Her mother Millie belonged to Bush's parents, former President George Bush and his wife Barbara. Spot, Bush's cat India and his new puppy Barney follow in some big pawsteps. The Clintons' pets, Socks and Buddy, have received more than 300,000 letters and e-mails. That's nothing to shake your tail at!
