Patton the GoldenDoodle May Become Trump’s White House Dog

President-elect Donald Trump’s animal-less existence may come to an end once he moves into the White House, as a prominent Palm Beach philanthropist claims that he has already chosen a ‘First Dog.’

Lois Pope told the Washington Post that she has a nine-week-old Goldendoodle – half Golden Retriever, half Poodle – in her possession that will soon belong to the Trumps, though the transition team says ‘no decision’ has been made yet.

The pup she named ‘Patton,’ after George Patton, the Second World War general who the president-elect admires.

Pope, who has known Trump for 20-plus years, first informed about the pooch in writing.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday at Mar-a-Lago she showed the president-elect a picture of the pup-in-waiting.  

‘He said, “Go over there and show it to Barron,”‘ Pope said, referencing Trump’s youngest son. ‘He said, “He’s going to fall in love with him.” He said, “Barron will want him.”‘

When Pope showed the 10-year-old the picture of the fuzzy brown puppy he did just that.

‘This big smile came over his face, and it just brought a tear to his eyes,’ she said.

While Trump’s spokeswoman Hope Hicks didn’t confirm that the first family would be adopting the pooch, Pope was confident young Patton would make his way to the White House.

‘I’m sure. Every president has a first dog. It goes with the presidency,’ she said.
