Lois Pope, a prominent philanthropist in Palm Beach, Fla., claims she in possession of a 9-week-old golden retriever poodle mix aka a Goldendoodle, that will soon become Donald Trump and the Trump family’s first dog.
Pope, a close friend of the Trump family for over two decades, said she has been in contact with the president-elect about acquiring the Goldendoodle barring Barron‘s approval.

Pope, a well-known advocate for veterans’ and animal causes, said in an interview Tuesday that she is a lock for becoming the breeder of the future first dog. “He said, ‘Go over there and show it to Barron,’” Pope said, referring to Trump’s 10-year-old son. “He said, ‘He’s going to fall in love with him.’ He said, ‘Barron will want him.’” When she showed the photo to Barron, Pope said, “this big smile came over his face, and it just brought tears to his eyes.” Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email Tuesday that “no decisions have been made” about the dog. But Pope said she is confident that the Trumps will take the puppy, which she named Patton after George Patton, a World War II general Trump has said he admires. “I’m sure. Every president has a first dog. It goes with the presidency,” Pope said. h/t washingtonpost
