Fala, Roosevelt's Scotty Dog.
The 'Fala Speech'
"These Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, or my wife, or on my sons. No, not content with that, they now include my little dog, Fala. Well, of course, I don't resent attacks, and my family doesn't resent attacks, but Fala does resent them. You know, Fala is Scotch, and being a Scottie, as soon as he learned that the Republican fiction writers in Congress and out had concocted a story that I had left him behind on the Aleutian Islands and had sent a destroyer back to find him--at a cost to the taxpayers of two or three, or eight or twenty million dollars--his Scotch soul was furious. He has not been the same dog since. I am accustomed to hearing malicious falsehoods about myself--such as that old, worm-eaten chestnut that I have represented myself as indispensable. But I think I have a right to resent, to object to libelous statements about my dog."--Sept. 23, 1944, address to the Teamsters Union.
Should be worth 50 points to any school!
Note the misuse of the word 'Scotch'. Go to the link and hear the speech!

i think of it somewhat is a pretend impact. Rat Terriers weren't named after US President Theodore Roosevelt. The stated terrier already exists in the previous US Pres. Theodore Roosevelt used them. a sort-B Rat terrier(short-legged version of rat terrier) have been the U. S. President's puppy that factor. And by utilising now became into categorized as a various breed and became into named after Him.

Her name was Fala and she was a Scottie (Scottish Terrier). Roosevelt loved her very much, and she was probably the most famous presidential dog.
