Him and Her (Johnson family beagles)

Him and Her were a pair of beagles owned by President Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1964 they drew nationwide attention when Johnson lifted Him by the ears while greeting a group on the White House lawn, a moment photographed by the press that angered many animal lovers. Her died at the White House in November 1964 after swallowing a stone; Him died in June 1966 after being hit by a car while chasing a squirrel on the White House lawn.
