Hoover loved dogs. He got his first canine as a child and had at least seven more as an adult. He even gave them as gifts to Presidents Herbert Hoover and Lyndon B. Johnson. His beloved pets are buried in a cemetery in a Washington suburb. His pet Spee Do Bozo has a headstone with the inscription, “Our Best Friend.”
He owned two Cairn terriers named G-Boy and Cindy. Prior to his death, he sent a letter on FBI stationery to the pet cemetery’s owner, writing, ″My dogs have brought me much pleasure, relaxation, and companionship, each in his own way.”
