I have many cards of various breed’s of dogs but I have 4 full cards of
just Scottie dog’s my theory why it is the most popular dog depicted on buttons is
this
Fala (April 7, 1940 – April 5, 1952), a Scottish Terrier, was the dog of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.(he was pres. 1933 to 1945) One of the most famous presidential pets, Fala captured the attention of the public in
the United States and followed Roosevelt everywhere, becoming
part of his public image. Given to the Roosevelts by a
cousin, Fala knew how to perform tricks; his White House antics were widely covered in the media and often referenced both by Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt. Fala survived Roosevelt by seven years and was
buried beside him. A statue of him beside Roosevelt is prominently featured in
Washington, D.C.'s Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Memorial, the only presidential
pet so honored.
