Loving actress Selma Blair's service dog Scout, who seemed to be very comfortable lying on Joe Biden's shoe in hot sun on the South Lawn

4. The dog would never get that close to Trump, and if by accident it did...

...Trump would probably kick it.

7. About 20 years ago, there was a comedy/farce movie about Watergate.

The movie started Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, and Dan Hedaya as Nixon. There is a scene in the movie wherein Nixon is heard on audio tape interacting with his dog Checkers. President Biden's good spirit sets him above some other politicians with whom we are familiar.

I loved it. Thanks for reminding me of it, I think it would be good to watch it now for the laugh.

Loved the explanation for the 18 minute gap in the tape!

16. It came out in 1999.

I only saw it once when it was in the theater. It would be interesting to watch it again now, in light of everything that's gone on since.

9. Leardership!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Actor and disability rights advocate Selma Blair on Monday helped President Joe Biden mark the legacy of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act, displaying a touch of the comedic timing that made her a star in Hollywood hits like “Legally Blonde” and “Cruel Intentions.”

Blair, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, walked together with Biden to a ceremony on the White House’s south lawn with her cane and her service dog, an English Labrador named Scout.

When she reached the stage, she told Scout, “down” and “good boy.” As he lay near Biden’s feet, the president started to bend down to pet Scout, but Blair looked over and said, “yeah, stay.” That caused Biden to straighten up to full attention.

10. I love that

if you ever needed proof he is a good man - dogs KNOW!

[canetoad]

14. Of course they do

And I like to watch the body language of humans around dogs. You can tell immediately who loves them, who is indifferent and who hates them.
