The most famous Scottie in history has to be Fala. Fala, the best loved and most famous of all White House pets, belonged to President Franklin Roosevelt. Born on April 7, 1940, Fala was a gift to the President from his cousin, Margaret Stuckley. The President loved Fala so much that he rarely went anywhere without him. FDR had several Scotties before Fala including one named Duffy and another one named Mr. Duffy.
