Mixed breed Pushinka with her pups on the White House lawn, 1963.
This photograph by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton is of the Kennedy's dog, Pushinka, and her puppies: Butterfly, White Tips, Blackie, and Streaker. Pushinka was a gift from Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1961. Butterfly and Streaker were given away to Midwest children when they were two months old, while Blackie and White Tips stayed with the family until they were given to friends.
