Betty White is like most people in that she is an animal lover. The 97-year-old was pictured back in the 1950s at home with her dogs and, many of these photos, the public has yet to see. She once said, and I quote, “Animals don’t lie. Animals don’t criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.”

She’s got that right! Check out these adorable photos of Ms. White and her adorable dogs from the ’50s. You can tell that she was/is a passionate dog mama!
