Former First Dog Barney Bush Dies

	Former First Dog Barney Bush Dies Former first dog Barney Bush, the black Scottish terrier who romped on the White House grounds in George W. Bush's time there, has died at age 12, the former president said in a statement. The playful pooch had been suffering from lymphoma. Barney played a starring role in the presidential mansion, notably in "BarneyCam" holiday specials featuring footage from a camera that caught a dog's eye view of senior aides like Karl Rove. He was also a reliable fixture on the White House website. Bush announced his dog's passing in a statement: Laura and I are sad to announce that our Scottish Terrier, Barney, has passed away. The little fellow had been suffering from lymphoma and after twelve and a half years of life, his body could not fight off the illness. Barney and I enjoyed the outdoors. He loved to accompany me when I fished for bass at the ranch. He was a fierce armadillo hunter. At Camp David, his favorite activity was chasing golf balls on the chipping green.
