Located at the FDR Memorial in Washington, D.C., you can't help but visit FDR and his faithful companion "Fala" while enjoying the memorial. From Wikipedia: Fala was born on April 8, 1940, and was given as an early Christmas gift to Roosevelt from Mrs. Augustus G. Kellog of Westport, Connecticut, through Roosevelt's cousin, Margaret "Daisy" Suckley. As a puppy, Fala was given obedience training by Suckley, who taught him to sit, roll over, and jump. His original name was Big Boy; Franklin renamed him Murray the Outlaw of Falahill after John Murray of Falahill, a famous Scottish ancestor. This was later shortened to "Fala."
Breed: Scottish Terrier
