There's an old saying: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." A few years ago, Senator Ted Kennedy decided to do just that. Now his beloved Portuguese Water Dog Champion Amigo's Seventh Wave (nicknamed Splash) is the most famous canine on Capitol Hill. Here we follow Senator Kennedy and Splash through a busy day in D.C., from press conferences to meetings with school groups to committee discussions to a floor vote. The result is an exciting, behind-the-scenes look at the life of one of the most energetic figures in American politics -- and, of course, his equally famous owner.
Customer Review: My Senator And Me: A Dog's Eye View Of Washingion, D.C.
This book is delightful. A very cute book for kids to learn about how the Senate is run. Such a cute idea to use Ted's dog through the dog's eyes and voice. I'm not truly a Ted Kennedy fan, but this was very well written, and the illustrations are excellent. I hope he does a second book using both of his dogs. Children will love reading it, as well as adults. I buy them for my grand children and end up keeping some myself for my own collection. Gloria Darrington/Minden,NV
Customer Review: THE DOG'S NAME IS SPLASH!!!
His dog's name is Splash!!! Most well-educated people should understand why that is one of the most hilarious and annoying "coincidences". If this was bush's book, and he named his dog, oh, i don't know, Tex? i there'd be a huge amount of people laughing. But, since the Kennedy's are royalty, they are not laughed at. SPLASH!!! THE DOGS NAME IS SPLASH!!! I CANT GET OVER IT!!
