Former President Bill Clinton appeared on Martha Stewart‘s show this morning to pitch his global initiative website, but he also got a little misty when talking about his daughter and his dogs.

Martha asked him about the importance of having a dog in the White House, and President Clinton admitted he was a “total wreck” when Chelsea went off to college, which is why Hillary got him a chocolate Lab. The former President quipped, “Harry Truman once said, ‘If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.'” Clip at left.
