Repositioning a presidential assistant:
Buddy replaced with a new brand name.

CHAPPAQUA, June 6, 2002. Touring Northern Ireland, former president Bill Clinton let slip the name for his new dog: Seamus. Seamus will succeed Buddy, Clinton's White House dog who was unceremoniously impeached by a car in Chappaqua, New York back in January and thrown out of his mortal office.

According to the Associated Press,

Seamus was sired by Buddy's nephew, and breeder Linda Renfro said he seemed much like Buddy, "except that I think he's probably a bigger eater. From what I have seen of him, his sole ambition 24 hours a day is to eat."

Well, one of them has clearly been neutered.
