They’ve adopted pets, given and received them as gifts, and, like all good pet owners, given their animals a loving home—one with a very prestigious address. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Almost all of the 43 presidents, from George Washington to George W., have had at least one pet. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; These pets might have received extraordinary pampering at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but they also had extraordinary charges to look after. After all, these animals had to be there to celebrate with and comfort their owners during all the triumphs and tribulations that come with being President of the United States. The Presidential Pet Museum and Pet Hall provide lots of information on all the commanders-in-chief and their pets. Almost all of the 43 presidents, from George Washington to George W., have had at least one pet. The leaders of the free world have shared the White House with dogs, cats, birds, horses, and even an alligator and silkworms (both belonging to John Quincy Adams).
