Henry Holcomb, Indiana's canine-in-chief, talks about life as 'First Dog'
Meet Henry Holcomb — Indiana's "First Dog."
The 6-year-old Miniature Schnauzer is owned by Gov. Eric Holcomb and Janet Holcomb. But thanks to his regular presence at state events and popularity on social media, Henry is beloved by seemingly every Hoosier who gets to know him.
In his first interview, Henry "spoke" exclusively to The Times, via e-email, about his life as canine-in-chief.
The governor's press staff insist the answers that follow each question came from Henry himself.
Q: Thanks for agreeing to do this interview. How are you adjusting to life as Indiana's top dog?
Henry: "What?! I've always been top dog, according to my Mom. Oh, you mean Dad's new job? Well, I'd say the transition has been seamless. I was born for this position! People, parades, events: I love the job, but it does cut into my nap time."
