Kudos, Reignette! That is correct. It's a wonderful little story, and versions differ a little from book to book. If other members of the forum remember the details a little differently from the version I used, that is the reason why. Mostly the source I used was Dorothy Meserve Kunhardt's wonderful article on Fido in the February 15, 1954, issue of Life magazine. Dorothy talks about the various families who might have kept Fido while the Lincolns were in Washington, and the Dubois family was in the list. Because Fido seemed to like the Roll boys the best, that was the family who became Fido's caretakers.
