- Synopsis
- There's an old saying: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." A few years ago, Senator Ted Kennedy decided to do just that. Now his dog, Champion Amigo's Seventh Wave (also known as Splash), is the most famous canine on Capitol Hill. Come follow Senator Kennedy and Splash through one whirlwind day in D.C.-from a press conference to a lunchtime game of fetch to a meeting with a school group to a vote on the Senate floor-as they work to pass an important law that will help schools across the United States. The warm, witty illustrations by Caldecott Medalist David Small offer a wonderful tour of the sights of Washington as well as an endearing portrait of the affection between man and dog. The result is a unique behind-the- scenes look at the life of one of the most energetic figures in American politics--and, of course, his very important owner.
