Herbert Hoover and his wife, Lou, both loved dogs. As it happens, a dog helped Herbert Hoover get elected in 1928. Thousands of photos of the President and his dog were distributed throughout the country to make him more charismatic to secure the election.
The dog in question, a German shepherd named King Tut, was acquired by Hoover when Hoover was in Belgium on assignment for President Wilson, running a war relief organization for Europe after the first world war. Hoover adopted his “police dog,” as they were commonly known, while overseas, and he brought King Tut back to America.
