presidentchal pets

the white house has always alowed pets. in the time of  "Josiah" the Badger, 1903 (From the collection of Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, National Park Service) there was a bager as a pet. but after that it was mostly dogs galor. there has never been a pitbull as a pet in the white house there where snoshers and ,duchhounds and many others. maybe a few cats have also been there in the white house. There are some unusual first pets In addition to owning the hippo, for example, Calvin Coolidge, also counted lion cubs, a bear, an antelope, a wallaby and a bobcat among his many animals (including the odd dog and cat). Outdoorsman Theodore Roosevelt also had bears among his pets, as well as snakes, pigs, an owl, raccoon, badger, hyena, zebra and lion.exetra.

  • Be sure to wait until your assigned next time. Also, be sure to proofread your summary as there a numerous errors that could be easily fixed.

  • I would definetly have a pet. I love animals. What could be better than to have one in the White House? I think I wouldn't have a tiger or anything agressive like that. But, it would be cool to have something like a farm animal like a pig or a horse, or something like that which wouldn't claw your eyes out if you got to close to it and it didn't like it. I think it's pretty cool that they let presidents have pets during their term. 

  • If I was president i would definitely have a pet because I dont know what i would do with out one. If I was president I would want a Lion cubs because lets be honost who wouldnt want a baby lion...

  • I love animals so of course I would have a pet. Tigers are adorable so I would get one of those for sure and maybe like some other super cute animals. 

  • I would definitely have a pet in the white house! If I were president, I probably wouldn't have an exotic pet like a tiger. I'd have to hire specialists to take care of it. I would just stick to a dog or two, preferably dachshunds. 

  • If I lived in the white house, I personally would most likely have a pet with me because I love animals. If I were President I would probably have like a lemur or a sugar-glider, because I think that they are super cute and I have always wanted one of each.  

  • If i was in the white house i would definitely bring a pet. I love animals and it wouldn't feel like home without them. I might have one or two unusual pets but I would probably just stick to keeping my beautiful Labradors.

  • Yes I would definitely have a pet in the White House animals are awesome and they are like family. If I were the president I would just stick to the normal animals because then I would have to pay someone to tame and trane the wild animal and some of those animals dont listen and could hurt me or someone else in the White House.

    • good idea to have normal animals

  • I would have a pet that is well trained and If i was the president I wouldn't have the weird animals because there would be no use to have them in the white house.
