Spot "Spotty" Fetcher (March 17, 1989 - February 21, 2004) was one of U.S. President George W. Bush's dogs. She was an English Springer Spaniel, named after Scott Fletcher, a former baseball player with the Texas Rangers.
Born in the White House, she was the daughter of Mildred Kerr Bush, better known as Millie, the best-selling canine author who had belonged to President George H. W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush. Her father was Tug Farish from Lane's End Farm in Kentucky.
She was euthanized after suffering a series of strokes. She was 14 years old. Historians say she was the only pet to live in the White House twice.
