I loved it when he nipped a reporter in the WH.

Scotties are tough little critters and I know his family thought the world of him. I watched his "christmas specials" every time they were on.

R.I.P. Barney, One tough little guy.

President Bush had a nice photo tribute to the dog he loved so much on his Facebook site, he did the painting which is surprisingly good. Barney wasn't just a token dog for the WhiteHouse, that's obvious from the photographs.

Absolutely. Barney had a hell of a life for a dog though : ). I disagreed with his humans politics but I feel for anyone who loses as great a friend as dogs are. R.I.P.

Barney was so full of P&V. What a great darling.
He was so loved.

RIP Barney.

Barney being stately....

I just love this one. President Bush trying to salute with Barney in his arms.
