MIKE, MARGARET TRUMAN’S IRISH SETTER.

The dog loving public thought President Harry Truman was a dog hater when he sent the adorable, blonde, little Cocker Spaniel puppy named Feller, packing. How could our President not keep such a wonderful gift? Harry had a hard time making up for that blunder, but when the public got used to seeing Margaret, his daughter, with an Irish Setter she named Mike, named after Mike Hannigan their Postmaster General, they forgave him. Mike, however, did not thrive, developed rickets and was sent to a farm before the Truman’s left the White House.
