Top 10 Pet Attractions No. 10: Fala Statue, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, Washington, D.C.
Before there was Socks the cat or Bo Obama, there was Fala, a lovable Scottish terrier that followed President Roosevelt everywhere he went, even on trips abroad. Fala was also very popular with the American people. He actually had a private secretary appointed to handle his correspondence and busy social calendar. Like FDR, Fala remained popular in death. A bronze likeness of him stands proudly alongside Roosevelt at the FDR Memorial in Washington, D.C., where thousands of visitors pay their respects each year. |
