The article needs a rewrite. At present it reads more like a children's book which personifies an animal rathen than an encyclopedia. Some examples:
One of Rex's first acts that week was helping to throw the switch that lit the National Christmas Tree.
Rex would live in the White House from that Christmas until Reagan left office in 1989, once gaining headlines when he underwent a tonsillectomy at an undisclosed .....hospital.[4
Reportedly, Rex took a disliking to the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House.
Rex' house "was designed by Theo Hayes, great-great grandson of President Rutherford B. Hayes, and actress Zsa Zsa Gabor reportedly conducted a dedication ceremony for the new structure." -- — Keithbob • Talk • 20:53, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
