First Lady Betty Ford and Susan Ford Play with Misty

In this photograph, First Lady Betty Ford plays with a golden retriever puppy named Misty, the offspring of the Fords' golden retriever Liberty. Mrs. Ford's daughter, Susan Ford, is holding Misty. Behind them is a tree decorated with homemade ornaments and trimmings. 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.
