Which former U.S. President gave a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to his wife as a Christmas present?

Ronald Wilson Reagan was an American politician who served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the 33rd governor of California from 1967 to 1975 after a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader.

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan gave his wife Nancy, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Rex for Christmas. Rex's first job as the 'First dog' was to turn on the Christmas lights with his paw. Rex lived a decadent lifestyle, complete with a fancy doghouse designed by Theo Hayes, great-great-grandson of President Rutherford Hayes. Inside, there were red drapes and framed pictures of his owners hung on the walls. When Reagan left office, Rex was presented with a new doghouse shaped like the White House and lined with carpet from Camp David.
