About this title: There's an old saying: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." A few years ago, Senator Ted Kennedy decided to do just that. Now his beloved Portuguese Water Dog Champion Amigo's Seventh Wave (nicknamed Splash) is the most famous canine on Capitol Hill. Here we follow Senator Kennedy and Splash through a busy day in D.C., from press conferences to meetings with school groups to committee discussions to a floor vote. The result is an exciting, behind-the-scenes look at the life of one of the most energetic figures in American politics -- and, of course, his equally famous owner.

"“My Senator and Me: A Dog's-Eye View of Washington, D.C.” by Edward Kennedy and David Small
This wonderfully warm story of the late Senator Edward Kennedy and his Portuguese Water Dog, Splash gives the reader an insightful explanation of how a bill becomes law. With superb illustrations by the artist David Small we gain insights into the daily workings on Capitol Hill. I find it witty and informative, a must for every school library."
"The story of this book, the struggle to pass the No Child Left Behind Act, is told from the point of view of Kennedy's dog, Splash.
First off, why tell a positive story of probably the most detrimental education bill ever passed? Nobody who works in education, or is educated, likes this bill. Thanks for helping destroy the future, Senator Jackass!
Second off, it's told by Kennedy's favorite dog, whose name is Splash. The senator who is best known for Chappaquiddick and alcoholism named his dog Splash. I think the word "Assclown" was invented to describe people like Kennedy. Thank you, Chris Jericho, for that huge contribution to the English lexicon."
