With yesterday's inauguration the White House is once more without a resident pet. Other than companionship the pets also serve to humanize the president. Even though Teddy Roosevelt was an avid hunter he was also an animal lover and had a menagerie while he was in office. Out of all the presidents only the current one and James Polk had no pets, Andrew Johnson made pets of some mice in his bedroom but also had no official pets. Now for some photos of past White House pets.
