context_page_description: United States presidents have often kept pets while in office, or pets have been part of their families. Donald Trump is the first president since James K. Polk to not have a presidential pet while in office.
context_section_description: In addition to traditional pets, this list includes some animals normally considered livestock or working animals that have a close association with presidents or their families.
