No one is quite sure why Donald Trump named his yellow Labrador retriever “Spinee,” except that it perhaps differentiates her from Trump's opponents who he would be first to insult: "lack a spine." That aside, Spinee was recently in the news after undergoing a recent risky surgery at the Washington Veterinary Hospital on February 15, 2016 prompting the billionaire to ask his prospective voters to send well wishes her way.

“May I ask one favor? My dog Spinee needs your prayers,” he tweeted. “She just came out of a difficult surgery … She is my beloved.”

Then throughout the night he posted subsequent updates about her condition indicating while “she is not out of the woods. . . prayers (are) working."
