Yes, during a televised address on September 23, 1952, then-Senator Richard Nixon famously held up his dog Checkers by his ears. He used this moment to connect with the American public and defend himself against allegations of financial improprieties. The speech is often remembered for its emotional appeal and helped secure Nixon's position as Dwight D. Eisenhower's running mate in the 1952 presidential election.
