First Lady Betty Ford Poses With Misty

In this photograph, First Lady Betty Ford holds a golden retriever puppy named Misty and sits near a tree decorated with homemade ornaments and trimmings. Misty, the offspring of the Fords' golden retriever Liberty, attempts to eat the decorations. Karl Schumacher took this photo in Solarium on November 10, 1975, during a photo opportunity for Parade Magazine. The Solarium is a private, Third Floor room used by the First Family to rest, relax and step away from the pressures of life in the White House.
