For National Dog Day, meet the 2020 hopefuls running for America's First Pooch

(CNN)The 2020 Democratic candidates for president are everywhere. We know their policies. We know their playlists. But do we know their dogs?

Donald Trump eschewed tradition when he entered the White House pet-less. The last pups to live in the Oval Office were the Obamas' Portuguese water dogs, Bo and Sunny, and there is a long tradition of canines-in-chief.

In honor of National Dog Day (annually on August 26), meet the canines vying to become America's next First Pup.

I'm just curious. All of the dogs are beautiful. Any of them will make great first dogs.

I just noticed that Beto and Bennet also have cats.
