Monday. The exhibit included Abraham Lincoln's dog, Fido, Jackie O's dog, Pushinka and Barack Obama's dog, Bo."Over the past couple of years, we've realized how much we depend on our pets for emotional support," Jinx co-founder Sameer Mehta said in a news release. "That's why this Presidents Day, we put politics aside to celebrate our Companions-in-Chief, the dogs that have been there for some of our nation's greatest leaders, ready and waiting for belly rubs and daily walks."RELATED: White House shakeup: Biden to get new German Shepherd and cat as current dog gets rehomedAccording to the Presidential Pet Museum, Lincoln’s Fido was a yellowish, mixed-breed dog with floppy ears and a stubby tail.
