In 1991, springer spaniel `Mildred Kerr', known as `Millie', brought in a salary more than four times that of her master, then US President George Bush, when her `autobiography' sold 400,000 copies, having been on the bestseller list for 29 weeks (23 in hardback) since August 1990. `Dictated' to First Lady, Barbara Bush, `Millie's Book' was described as an "under the table look at life in the Bush family". The book earned $900,000 (£;510,000) which compares with the $2,700 (£;1,530) earned by President Bush's own biography.
