White House Pets - Liberty

Liberty Hume was the Golden Retriever Presidential pet of Gerald R. Ford. Born February 8, 1974, Liberty was given to the president as an 8-month-old puppy by his daughter Susan Ford and photographer David Hume Kennerly.

Liberty was frequently photographed with Ford in the Oval Office, in the swimming pool at Camp David and on the South Lawn of the White House. She also had a litter of pups in the White House, one of which - Misty - was kept by Ford. As the story goes, if Ford wanted to end a conversation in the Oval Office he would signal

Liberty and she would go to the guest wagging her tail, creating a natural break.
