From the Nov. 3,1947 feature: “THE ROOSEVELT LEGEND: Less than three years after his death he has become a towering figure in U.
S. mythology.” The article examined the memoirs of the late President Theodore Roosevelt including a passage on his beloved dog, Fala. This image ran in the anecdote with the following caption: Fala hears his master’s voice accepting fourth nomination. American feeling toward Roosevelt was so personal that even his dog became a national figure.” (George Skadding—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #thisweekinLIFE
