What was the rather appropriate name of Jimmy Carter’s dog during his stint in the White House?
Georgia
Jimmy
Grits
Mr. Peanut
During President Jimmy Carter’s time in the White House, his family brought a touch of Southern charm to Washington, not least through their beloved dog, Grits. A gift to Carter’s daughter, Amy, by her teacher, Grits was a mixed-breed puppy who quickly became a playful fixture of the Carter presidency. His arrival in the White House seemed almost destined—he was born on the very same day Jimmy Carter won the 1976 presidential election. The name “Grits” reflected the Carters’ deep Georgia roots and their fondness for the iconic Southern staple food.
Correct Answer: Grits
