Bob Dole's not the only one in the family bringing home some big bucks.
As the former Kansas senator starts his new job at a Washington law firm, his 14-year-old schnauzer, Leader, is making some money in the private sector, too.Leader is being paid $5,000 by Ralston Purina Co. to appear on a 1998 calendar of celebrity dogs, Dole said recently. Leader sat in on an interview Dole gave to The Associated Press.
"He likes everybody. Rub his ears," Dole told a guest. "I think he's losing his strength. But he's all right."
