Did Betty White have 26 dogs?
Yes, Betty White had 26 dogs.
This was revealed by Betty herself in an interview with PEOPLE in 1999 during an interview. Because of her love for dogs, Betty even authored books on dogs.
According to Today, White was so deeply connected to Guide Dogs for the Blind she made “very generous gifts” each year to the organization since 1986 while also attending events, writing mail campaigns and even recording public service announcements.
Michelle posted a photo of Betty White with a black dog called ‘Bo’ — that was their dog at the White House. It appears Betty loved it.
In Michelle’s message, she wrote:
Betty White broke barriers, defied expectations, served her country, and pushed us all to laugh. She was also an animal lover and activist, and Bo loved spending time with her.
There was no one quite like her, and Barack and I join so many who will miss the joy she brought to the world. I know our Bo is looking forward to seeing her up in heaven.
