President Roosevelt holds a stick and looks at a “third term” dog. Caption: “You go home and stay there!”
Mostly forgotten today is a popular Sunday strip from the time of J. H. Donahey’s cartoon. Billy Marriner’s page was called “Wags, the Dog That Adopted a Man,” and its weekly episodes concerned a top-hatted man who could never escape the stray that followed him everywhere. Whether Donahey intentionally borrowed that theme — after all, lonely strays are always with us, or try to be — that is the concept in this cartoon from the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
President Roosevelt’s dog Pete is chained up outside the White House, “Ah woe is me!!!” as two dogs run past saying, “I too desire to be elsewhere, Herbert,” and “Come, Chester, I don’t wish to be seen around that vicious animal!” Meanwhile, a lot of activity occurs in the White House: “Where’s Loeb? Ask him!!!” “Kill ’em,” “Choke ’em,” “That dog must go,” “Well, what shall we do?” “Got to be done!!!”
Few presidents were associated with pets and animals at the White House as was Theodore Roosevelt. He loved his pet dogs through the years, and he rode almost daily, but a lively brood of six children accounted for pet snakes, bears, lizards, guinea pigs, a one-legged rooster, a barn owl, and the pony Algonquin who was smuggled up the White House elevator to cheer up a sick Archie.
President Roosevelt holds a vicious-looking dog labeled “federal law” as men labeled “corporation,” “business,” “combination,” “wealth,” and “enterprise” run away or hide. Caption: President Roosevelt — “Don’t be afraid, gentlemen; he will hurt only the crooks.”
The second term of Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency represents a period of reform that was unprecedented in American history, and arguably matched by not exceeded by the flurry of executive and legislative activity of the New Deal (1934-1938) and Great Society (1964-1965) in subsequent decades.
