First Pets Return to White House
January 24, 2021
The White House has pets again. The dogs are the first pets since 2017, when outgoing President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama took their Portuguese Water Dogs Bo and Sunny with them. Donald Trump was the first President in more than a century to avoid having pets while living in the White House. American Presidents throughout the history of the country have had pets. This goes all the way back to George Washington, who owned several dogs, a donkey, and a horse. Dogs and cats have been familiar as presidential pets. Horses and birds have also been common. |
