Lyndon B. Johnson famously named one of his beagles after the man who served in which role during his presidency?
Attorney General
Secretary of State
Director of the FBI
Secretary of Defense
Fact: President Lyndon B. Johnson had a well-known fondness for dogs, and one of his beagles was named “J. Edgar” after J. Edgar Hoover, who served as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hoover actually gave the dog to Johnson after the death of one of the president’s other beagles. Johnson initially called the dog “J. Edgar” before eventually shortening the name to simply “Edgar.” The playful naming choice reflected Johnson’s close relationship with Hoover, one of the most influential and controversial law enforcement figures in American history.
Correct Answer: Director of the FBI
