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
Oh Dude, get in this selfie right now
Your expensive hardwood floor is now my trampoline
That's what you get for watching Downton Abbey without me
My dog smells a selfie
OMG, only one left? How many did I eat???
When the towels are fresh out of the dryer
Saving Gotham one can of Fancy Feast at a time
Don't Worry PETA, it's faux fur
