The 2020 Democratic presidential primary currently has a record 23 candidates — and many of them are using their pets as furry campaign mascots.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's golden retriever Bailey is a frequent presence on the campaign trail, helping the Massachusetts senator win over voters with his good looks and an enthusiastic personality.
And Mayor Pete Buttigieg's dogs Truman and Buddy have more than 80,000 Twitter followers on their own account managed by Buttigieg's husband, Chasten.
