Presidential pets get a new leash on life from the Bidens
On TODAY Tuesday, former first daughter Jenna Bush Hager revealed that the dogs didn’t like her at all.During a piece on presidential pets, Jenna noted that the footage that showed her family members sitting with Barney and Miss Beazley (while she sat on the other side of the room) was remarkable.“Whoever pulled up these old clips sure gets an A+ for awkward moments,” she said. “Yeah, Barney and Beazley didn’t really like me.”But as it turns out, Jenna was in good company.Barney had a reputation for being snippy with reporters, going so far as to leave a Reuters journalist in need of a bandage and antibiotics after one encounter that was captured on film.And Miss Beazley was known to have her own temper, too, according to anchor Savannah Guthrie.Teach Your Children to Ask Permission Before Petting a Strange Dog. There are 4.5 million dog bites in America each year, half of which happen to children. Make sure to teach your children to ask permission before petting any strange dogs.
“I ran into Miss Beazley once, when I was covering your father at the White House, and she growled at me,” Savannah explained.
That came as no surprise to Jenna.
“They didn’t destroy furniture,” Jenna insisted. “They just bit reporters. For real.”
That’s when Savannah realized she got off easy with “just a growl,” adding, “It was jarring!”
