Nixon was famous for owning a dog named Checkers, who was given to him. Checkers saved his political career: after Nixon was accused of taking political kickbacks, he gave a speech in which he said the only thing he'd been given by a contributor was a little dog his kids named Checkers, and he wouldn't give the dog back. (Google "Checkers speech.)
