About this audiobook
There's an old saying: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." A few years ago, Senator Ted Kennedy decided to do just that. Now his beloved Portuguese Water Dog Champion Amigo's Seventh Wave (nicknamed Splash) is the most famous canine on Capitol Hill. Here we follow Senator Kennedy and Splash through a busy day in D.C., from press conferences to meetings with school groups to committee discussions to a floor vote. The result is an exciting, behind-the-scenes look at the life of one of the most energetic figures in American politics -- and, of course, his equally famous owner.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Splash is a very important dog and has a very important job. He is Senetor Ted Kennedy's best friend. He goes to work with the Senetor everyday and sometimes even helps him with important business manners.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My Senator and Me is told in first person from Splash, Senator Kennedy's dog, point of view. Splash tells about how government works in Washington D.C. as Senator Kennedy tries to get a bill passed. It showed our country’s system of checks and balances in action. As Splash traverses through D.C, he passes famous landmarks and monuments. This book would be perfect for fourth graders who need to know the information contained with this book. It also contained a fun fact that I was unaware of which is that there is an underground train that senators can use to travel from the Senate Building to the Capitol. Who knew? The illustrations were beautiful. The illustrator used soft water colors, which held a caricature aspect that would appeal to children. There was a certain playfulness to the illustrations. Since Senator Kennedy has been a senator in Washington for decades, he is certainly an expert on D.C. and the way government work, especially pertaining to getting a bill passed through Congress. Therefore, I’d say he is an extremely credible author.
