Perspective
Bailey was a 2018 gift from Warren's husband, Bruce Mann.[2] He is named after George Bailey from It's A Wonderful Life.[3] The couple told CNN in an October 2019 interview that they had long been dog people, and that Bailey helped them keep calm and maintain "the illusion of normalcy".[1] They had previously owned another golden retriever, Otis, who died in 2012.[1]
During Warren's 2020 campaign, Bailey was featured on official and unofficial campaign merchandise including stickers, t-shirts, tote bags, and leashes.[4][5] He made several notable appearances on the campaign trail, including crashing a CNN interview in October 2019,[6] appearing in a Fort Dodge, Iowa rally in January 2020, and serving as a surrogate while Warren was attending the Trump impeachment trial.[7]
During the Iowa caucuses, The Des Moines Register credited Bailey as a "natural closer" in its endorsement of Warren.[7] Shortly after Warren announced the end of her presidential campaign on March 5, 2020, Bailey was filmed stealing a burrito presumed to belong to a campaign staffer or press aide; the video subsequently went viral.[8][9]
An unofficial Twitter fan account operated by Robert Abare,[2] @FirstDogBailey, had over 30,000 followers in 2020.[10]
