🐾 Fun Fact: The Dignified Scottie

The Scottish Terrier, affectionately called the “Scottie,” was bred in Scotland in the 18th century as a fearless hunter of foxes and badgers. Despite their small size, Scotties are known for their big personalities, strong loyalty, and dignified presence. They became especially famous in the United States thanks to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s beloved Scottie, Fala, who lived in the White House and captured the nation’s heart.
