Nixon was famous for owning a dog named Checkers, who was given to him. Checkers saved his political career: after Nixon was accused of taking political kickbacks, he gave a speech in which he said the only thing he'd been given by a contributor was a little dog his kids named Checkers, and he wouldn't give the dog back. (Google "Checkers speech.)
Richard Nixon had two dogs during his presidency: a Cocker Spaniel named Checkers and a Irish Setter named King Timahoe.
The dogs that Richard Nixon had in the White House were Checkers the cocker spaniel, Vicky the poodle, Pasha the terrier, and King Timahoe who was an Irish Setter. Nixon was also the first president to keep fish in the White House.
