North American owners of Nintendogs + cats got a Spotpass notice on their devices yesterday, telling them that the 26th President of the United States had dropped by for a visit, bringing along his bull terrier, Pete. The notification included a bit of historical background about the dog’s infamous reputation (he was accused of ripping the pants off a french ambassador.)

Now, this is fun. If you own N+c, Theodore Roosevelt and his dog are now residents of your Nintendogs town! You can meet up with the pair for a game of Frisbee in the park or simply wait to encounter them on a walk. Roosevelt brings a gift for your puppy! I won’t spoil the surprise, but let’s just say he didn’t spend a lot.
