Living legends Ted Kennedy and David Small team up to provide a smart, funny, and affectionate look at life in our nations capital from the perspective of the senator and his very perceptive dog. Theres 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.
