In Melania Trump's memoir, Be Best, which focuses on her time as First Lady and her initiatives, she mentions the family’s dog, Patton, in a section reflecting on her life in the White House. She shares some personal insights into how she and her family, including her son Barron, adapted to the intense public scrutiny and the challenges of living in the White House.

Melania specifically describes Patton as a beloved family member, providing companionship and comfort during their time in the public eye. In her book, she highlights how having a dog in the White House helped maintain a sense of normalcy for Barron, who was adjusting to the spotlight and the pressures that came with being part of the First Family. The presence of a pet, she noted, helped create a sense of warmth and stability.

Melania did not elaborate much on Patton beyond this context, and the dog's role is mentioned more in passing rather than being a focal point of her narrative.
