The Bizarre History of White House Pets URL: http://blogs.static.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/19928.html Description: This light-hearted view of presidential pets describes how of "44 Presidents ... only two of them -- Chester A. Arthur and Franklin Pierce -- left no record of having pets" and discusses some favorites. Pets include Bill, Calvin Coolidge's pygmy hippopotamus; Herbert Hoover's son's alligators; Fala, Franklin D. Roosevelt's Scottish terrier; and Millie, George H.W. Bush's springer spaniel, who was also a "literary sensation." From the blog for Mental_Floss magazine.
