Ivanka Trump posted a photo Monday of her daughter Arabella Kushner’s birthday gift: A snow-white pup named Winter.
People were quick to throw shade with racial undertones, commenting on the dogs blue-eyed, all-white appearance. Others posted supportive comments.
Although Winter isn’t technically the first dog (The president and first lady aren’t known to have any pets), the pup likely holds an open invite to the South Lawn. Here is a look at other top dogs that have, at one point, sniffed around the White House.
Skip: Theodore Roosevelt and his family kept a variety of pets, including rats, snakes, dogs, birds and ponies. One of his favorite dogs, Skip, was brought home from a hunting trip.
Laddie Boy: Commonly referred to as “Laddie,” this first dog attended meetings with President Warren G. Harding and even had his own cabinet chair.
Rob Roy: President Calvin Coolidge’s closest pet was a white collie named Rob Roy who even accompanied first lady Grace Coolidge in her 1924 White House portrait.
King Tut: After aiding in President Herbert Hoover’s campaign, the Belgian Malinois police dog, King Tut, joined the White House police force.

Grits: Grits was allegedly not given a warm welcome by the another four-legged family member at President Jimmy Carter’s White House, Siamese cat Misty Malarky Ying Yang, and therefore had a rather short residency.
