I bought a new White House book today, and ran across this photograph of President Lyndon Johnson kissing his grandson, Patrick Nugent (b. 1967).   

I’ve seen so many photographs of LBJ looking gruff, intimidating, and downright bullying, but this photograph was touching.

I found a current photograph of the 47 year old Patrick Nugent. 

I found a number of photos of LBJ with Patrick, and it shows this incredible side of the president.

And a number of these photographs include a dog!
