We’re all familiar with Bo Obama, the White House’s current First Pet, but animals have found a home at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for well more than a century.

Kennedy’s pony named Macaroni, to First Lady Grace Coolidge’s raccoon Rebecca to President George H.W. Bush’s dog Millie and her puppies, you’re sure to find a White House pet that makes you smile.
