RE: What type of dog was Jip (in Wash. City)

For those who are curious -- the name "Jip" for a dog was quite popular in the 19th Century. Charles Dicken's character, Dora Spenlow in David Copperfield (whom Copperfield marries) had a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel named "Jip."

Whether Lincoln's dog was named for the popular pup in Copperfield is unknown - but it seems to have been a favorite name.....
