American presidents have been keeping pets ever since George Washington first took the oath of office in 1789. In fact, only three presidents have abstained from animal companionship while in office! But that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been variation among the species who have called the White House home. Here’s our list of America’s most interesting presidential pets:





















When your boss says you can go home early
Your expensive hardwood floor is now my trampoline
I'm Thinkin' Burgers Tonight
Don't Worry PETA, it's faux fur
That's what you get for watching Downton Abbey without me
And the MTV Award for best kiss goes to
When the towels are fresh out of the dryer
Dude, that cloud totally looks like Jennifer Lawrence
Bad luck? No way!
Oh no! They put all their eggs in one basket
