If the 2012 elections were held today, Teddy Roosevelt has an early “leg up” on the canine vote.
Adams Morgan pug Cachucha brought her owner Johanna Diaz to Nationals Park for Saturday’s “Pups in the Park” day, decked out to support her favorite racing president, Teddy Roosevelt.
Cachucha took the pre-game parade seriously, sporting an elaborate “float” that included a Teddy Roosevelt bobblehead doll mounted on her back.
“She was really hoping her float would give him an edge for a win,” said Diaz.
“She was soaking in the glory of being on the field, and sending some good vibes for Teddy.”
Sadly, the pups simply proved to be a distraction for Roosevelt, but Cachucha got a consolation prize: She was featured on the HD scoreboard and voted fan of the game by the Nationals Park crowd.
“Teddy has always been her favorite,” added Diaz. “If she could wear a monocle, she would.”
With three more Pups in the Park promotions scheduled for this summer, perhaps Cachucha can start a whole canine cheering section for our favorite president.
…and if a float isn’t your dog’s thing, there’s always the Let Teddy Win T-Shirt for dogs (above).

LET TEDDY WIN 
Love it! I wore my Let Teddy Win tshirt to the game as well! My pup and I will definitely sit in the cheering section with Cachucha at the next Pups event!
