Book excerpt: From the very beginning of the American republic animals -- both domestic and wild -- have been part of the presidency. Horses, bears, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, racoons and even hummingbirds have taken up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The list of animals also includes pets that couldn't stay: wild beasts such as elephants, lions, a tiger and a hippopotamus. They were taken to zoos where millions of Americans got to enjoy them. But those who stayed assumed the role of First Pet. This book is for all animal lovers and history buffs, especially those who follow the lives of American presidents and their families. Readers will learn about the human side of the most powerful leaders of the United States and their caring, playful attachments to their animals; they will also discover President Obama's Bo, a black-haired Portuguese water dog, among the many pets featured and celebrated. The treatment includes a special section on all of the dogs who lived at the White House and a Presidential Pet Quiz, which will thoroughly test your knowledge of American presidents and their favourite pets.
