Today in 1975, the Ford’s welcomed new additions to the family when their golden retriever Liberty gave birth to a littler of nine puppies in the @whitehouse. The First Lady stayed with Liberty throughout the births while the veterinarian, Liberty’s trainer, and Susan Ford tended to the newborn pups. The Fords kept one of the four female puppies and named her Misty. One of the five males was given to the Leader Dog School for the Blind in Rochester, Michigan. The other seven puppies were given away to individuals. Image: “Photograph of Susan Ford, First Lady Betty Ford, and President Gerald R.
