Meet the “First Pets”

Meet "Harry," the male Airedale Terrier. His name is short for "Harrisburg"

Governor Tom Corbett and First Lady Susan Corbett introduced the new “First Pets” today.  The Corbetts received hundreds of suggested names from children across the Keystone State. 

"Penny," the female Airedale Terrier decided to untie the governor's shoe. Her name is short for "Pennsylvania."

37-children submitted the name “Penny.”  4-children submitted the name “Harry.”  Each of them will receive an autographed picture of the First Family — complete with the “First Pets.” 

In all, the Corbetts received 548-suggestions from kids in 47-counties.  First Lady Susan Corbett says there’s already a noticeable difference at the residence.  “This is a beautiful house, but I think having kids or dogs makes it a home.”
