When I worked at TVOntario we needed a dog for publicity shots with UK's famous animal trainer Barbara Woodhouse whose series we were featuring. My daughter and I brought our irrepressible wheaten Terrier Scamp to meet her. He rarely behaved for us but he was a different fellow when Barbara took the leash.

Ike had left the presidency and was writing his memoirs in an office on the Gettysburg College campus when I bumped into him (literally) one day rushing to my dorm.
