| This painting is of Grace Coolidge with Rob Roy, one of four Coolidge Collies at the White House - two wihites, Rob Roy and Prudence Prim and one 'brown' Collie named Ruby Rough and a 'yellow' Collie named Bessie. |
| President Coolidge (1923-1929) purcased two white Collies from Shamont White Collies after seeing one in a Ringling Brothers Circus. Rob Roy came from a long line of sheep herding Collies. He was originally named Oshkosh. He did not like his first few trips in the Wihite House elevator. |
