President Bush is a fan of jigsaw puzzles and especially those designed by British painter Howard Robinson, according to Britain's Northern Echo newspaper.
The president is so fond of Mr Robinson's designs that First Lady Laura Bush asked him to paint the family's dogs - Miss Beazley and Barney - for a special puzzle given to the president on his 60th birthday.
Mr Robinson, from County Durham in the north-east of England, told the Northern Echo he was "thrilled" to receive the commission.
"But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the President of the United States of America would be sitting in Camp David doing one of my puzzles."
Mr Robinson said he received a "lovely" letter from Mrs Bush saying how much the family had enjoyed the jigsaw.
President Bush got three of the four pieces put together before he asked for Laura's help an hour later, so we should give him the props he deserves.

Think progress points out that Laura "pickles" Bush stated on Larry King last night that Iraq wasn't such a bad place. It's just that pesky media reporting on the one bombing a day that turned people off of the whole war thing.
As of November 2006, in reality, there were over 180 insurgent attacks a day. Before October 2005, it was less than 100 a day every month, to show the kind of progress we have been making lately.
Perhaps running into her ex-boyfriend and killing him with her car has made the first lady a little desensitized to death and destruction. Or maybe she is an idiot just like the other person who sleeps in her bed. I refer of course to Barney, who is still sticking with Commander Cuckoo Bananas.
