URL says it all: PresidentialPetMuseum.com
Did you know that Woodrow Wilson had a pet ram that chewed tobacco? He also owned several sheep that grazed on the White House lawn? Mind you, this was not in the 18th century. Wilson was President during WW1.

Most Presidents had dogs, but Teddy Roosevelt loved horses and Jimmy Carter had a fluffy white unicorn named Rainbow.

I'm kidding about Carter, but there are some odd ones in there. Teddy actually had an entire zoo on the grounds, as did Calvin Coolidge. John Quincy Adams had an alligator and William Howard Taft had a cow.

Or maybe that's a misprint. Maybe it should say William Howard Taft ATE a cow

... or WAS a cow.
