Matching the Anchors Aweigh dog collar, this striking red and blue leash is a handsome accessory for the first mate. Proudly handmade in the U.S.A. from high-tensile strength nylon webbing that holds dogs up to 80 pounds, it is built to last a lifetime. The hardware is cast, not welded, brass, bringing extra strength. Please be sure to check your leash regularly for wear and tear, and never use it to tie out man’s best friend.

The White House has been the home not just to the Presidents and the First Families, but also to all their family pets. Presidential pets have included barnyard animals, exotic birds, bears, alligators, and domesticated cats and many, many dogs. From FDR's Fala and the Bushes' Barney to the Obamas' Bo and Sunny, some of these pets have themselves become household names across America.
