Pushinka: A Cold War puppy the Kennedys loved

Authored by bbc.com and submitted by bawledannephat

The president called them "the pupniks" and Bryant says he liked to ask questions about them. "How long would the pups keep their eyes closed? When they would be on solid food? How many days? When could they walk? When could they go out on the lawn to play? Would they have short or long hair?"

Its name was pushinka, which I believe means “little fluff ball” in Russian, which is fucking adorable.

I wonder if they X-rayed the puppy to make sure it didn't have any microphones implanted.

So the world was saved because a little girl got a puppy.
