So on their way back from Poland last week, Barbara and George Bush picked up a new liver-and-white springer spaniel, trained by Queen Elizabeth's very own dog trainer in London. As it comes from the land of Shakespeare, maybe the pooch will have even more literary ability than its best-selling pawbear...
